Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Leeds is currently engaged in an open procurement process for the acquisition of a multifaceted detection system, known as "F/2627 - FFF/SEC-Multidetection System", which falls under the detection and analysis apparatus category (CPV 38430000). This tender is taking place in West Yorkshire, England, with the deadline for submissions set for 1st March 2017. The contract period is anticipated to commence on 31st March 2017 and will last until 31st March 2018. Interested parties should note the key dates and prepare accordingly for the submission of their proposals within the stipulated timeframe.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in scientific instrumentation, particularly those involved in the production of detection and analysis equipment, such as spectrometers and analysers. Companies that manufacture or supply high-precision laboratory equipment, especially those with capabilities in size exclusion HPLC systems or asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation technologies, would be well-suited to compete. As the procurement approach is open, it allows for a diverse range of suppliers to participate, potentially leading to substantial growth in their business engagements within the academic and research sectors.

Notice Information

Notice Title

F/2627 - FFF/SEC-Multidetection System

Notice Description

The FFF/SEC-multidetection instrument is for separating, characterising, and fractionating both biomacromolecules and biological particles. The biomacromolecules include biopolymers such as polysaccharides (e.g., glycosaminoglycans), proteins, nucleic acids, mucins, while the biological particles include antibodies, nanocomplexes, exosomes, mucus, among other. These systems are to be analysed as pure or as mixtures. The separation is achieved either by size exclusion HPLC (SEC-HPLC) or by asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AsFlFFF) under thermostated conditions. In both cases, this is according to the dimensions given by the molar mass and hydrodynamic size of the polymers and particles. In both separation modes, the system enables the determination of the molar mass, hydrodynamic radius (Rh), radius of gyration (Rg,) polymer conformation and branching degree of biopolymers, as well as the particle size (Rh) of nano- and micro-particles. The characterisation is made by a multidetection system that uses dynamic and multi-angle laser light scattering (DLS and MALS, respectively), while the composition is elucidated by a UV/VIS spectroscopy and a differential refractive index (DRI) detectors. The fractionated eluting polymer and particle species pass through all these detector units arranged online, and the software integrates the information to generate the corresponding chromatograms (SEC) and fractograms (FFF) as well as the molecular mass, Rg, and particle size (Rh) distribution plots and parameters derived thereof. The separated fractions can subsequently be recovered by an automated fraction collector system. Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
