The supplies and services herein are being procured in accordance with the simplified acquisition procedures authorized by FAR Part 13. The Laboratory of Cellular Carcinogenesis and Tumor Promotion (LCCTP), conducts an integrated research program designed to elucidate the cellular and tissue changes associated with specific stages of carcinogenesis, to define molecular mechanisms involved, and to illuminate pathways that may lead to rational approaches for cancer prevention or treatment. Studies are performed in vivo in experimental animals, in vitro in cell and organ culture, and on tissues and cells obtained from human volunteers and patients. Alpha Innotech's FluorChem 8900 Imaging System offers the most versatile options with user-friendly software. It includes a cooled and regulated camera with 12-bit digitalization and 1.339 million pixels for high resolution analysis of chemiluminescence, fluorescence and basic gel documentation.
