Lot Information

Lot 1

Supply of a Helios Hydra Multi-Ion Source DualBeam

Procurement Information

The Hydra PFIB can provide gallium-free milling with switchable plasma sources, which is a critical part of the requirement. This PFIB is more precise, yielding smoother lamellas than conventional FIB and allowing milling refinement with different sources - very important for recording high-quality tomograms through cryo-ET and performing in situ structural studies of complex systems. The PFIB source is protected by patents, therefore Regulation 32 2(b) (ii) & (iii) are applicable for this procurement.
