A small animal echocardiography device for the experimental animal unit of the Institutes of Virology, Immunology, Systems Immunology and Pharmacology and Toxicology ("VIP") is requested. The device will be used for pharmacological and biomedical projects of different users at the campus of the University of Würzburg and the University Clinic Würzburg. The requested device will be integrated into the newly organized experimental animal unit of the Institutes of Virology, Immunology and Systems Immunology, and Pharmacology and Toxicology, which, in addition to the Comprehensive Heart Failure Center (CHFC), will enable cardiovascular studies in mice and rats to be performed with the high temporal and spatial resolution required for the planned projects. The requested device will replace an old ultrasound machine (purchased in 2011). According to the manufacturer, the device to be replaced can no longer be upgraded to the current state of the art that is needed for central research questions at the site and will only be maintained by the company until 2023. Thus, the procurement of a new small animal echocardiography device is urgently indicated in order to maintain the scientific competitiveness of the respective research groups. The requested device will be integrated into ongoing animal research projects at the site and will enable new research groups to perform echocardiography studies.

请求为病毒学、免疫学、系统免疫学和药理学与毒理学研究所（“VIP”）的实验动物单位提供一台小动物超声心动图装置。该设备将用于维尔茨堡大学校园和维尔茨堡大学诊所不同用户的药理学和生物医学项目。所要求的设备将被整合到病毒学、免疫学和系统免疫学以及药理学和毒理学研究所新组织的实验动物单位中，除了综合心力衰竭中心（CHFC）之外，该单位还将使小鼠和大鼠的心血管研究能够以计划项目所需的高时间和空间分辨率进行。所要求的设备将取代一台旧的超声波机（2011年购买）。根据制造商的说法，要更换的设备不能再升级到现场中心研究问题所需的最新技术水平，并且只能由公司维护到2023年。因此，迫切需要采购一种新的小动物超声心动图设备，以保持各自研究小组的科学竞争力。所要求的设备将被整合到该研究中心正在进行的动物研究项目中，并将使新的研究小组能够进行超声心动图研究。
