Notice Title

Greener Surfaces for Science: Procurement of Silane Vapor Deposition System with Plasma Cleaning

Notice Description

In June 2021, Refeyn Ltd received a Business Investment Fund Grant from the Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership to invest in capital equipment to make the everyday use of our innovative life sciences technology greener. This will enable Refeyn to introduce a new line of eco-friendly consumables to complement the mass photometry equipment it produces. Specifically, the purpose of this procurement is to purchase a suitable Chemical Vapour Disposition System to allow us to prepare surfaces to the standards required for mass photometry. Refeyn has carried extensive proof-of-concept work to establish the viability and effectiveness of our approach - ensuring feasibility and minimising risks. The tender documentation, including a detailed overview of required specification and scoring, is available as attached here or at https://www.refeyn.com/tenders. Any questions must be received by 3rd September 2021, which will be answered no later than 8th September 2021. No questions will be answered after that date.

Bids must remain valid and open for acceptance for three months from the closing date for return of the RFQ.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Refeyn is an Oxford company that has pioneered mass photometry, a technology that makes it possible to study important biomolecules, such as those used in therapeutics, in a completely new way. Refeyn instruments measure the mass of individual molecules directly in solution, so researchers can see, in detail, how molecules behave in an environment that is very close to the environment in cells. Though it seems simple, this information can be transformative for research and development in the life sciences and is almost impossible to obtain with other approaches. However, mass photometry makes such measurements quick and straightforward. Mass photometry's many applications include analysing sample purity, monitoring the assembly of biomolecular complexes, and measuring the strength and kinetics of molecular interactions. It is useful in many areas, from research in basic biology to the development and manufacture of new therapies, such as immunotherapies and gene therapies.
