The software of the device must be able to support remote work and consultation with other users regarding cell images. The procurement includes among other things the device, its delivery, a workstation required to operate the device, analysis software, user licenses, user training, device-specific supplies, user replaceable parts, warranty and warranty period maintenance services for the device. The procurement also includes an option for post-warranty maintenance services for the device. The HUS Group will decide separately on the use of the option.
