Notice Title

Atomic Force Microscope and Confocal Optical Microscope

Notice Description

The University of Leeds is seeking tenders for a fully integrated atomic force and confocal optical microscope for life science applications. We seek responses for a complete, fully combined system, however it is recognised that a successful partnering arrangement can provide the required individual components as an integrated package. Preferably, the tender should be from a single vendor, although we may expect that service and support will be from the original manufacturer. We will accept responses for the individual components, however these must work as an integrated package with suppliers demonstrating that they are willing and have made appropriate arrangements to partner with each other to provide a complete, fully integrated system.
