Notice Title

005/2017 Atomic Force Microscope

Notice Description

University of the West of England is developing a new collaborative research and business-support centre, focusing on the development of new healthcare technology - the Health Technology Hub. The Health Technology Hub facility will be situated on the UWE campus at Frenchay. Equipment is needed to provide the required state-of-the-art facilities. An atomic force microscope (AFM) is required for imaging structural features of sensor and biosensor surfaces. We require an AFM system that incorporates optical positioning of the cantilever and a sophisticated image analysis software package able to produce high quality images and have detailed analysis protocols. The equipment should be able to be used as a bench top system (although an anti-vibration surface may be available) and require standard mains electricity supply.
