Lot Information
Lot 1
The University of Edinburgh invites competitive tenders for supply, installation, initial training and technical services for a High-Pressure Freezer for the vitrification of soft and biological materials for imaging in separate cryo-FIB-SEM system. We intend to procure this equipment in order to rapidly vitrify and preserve the internal micro-structure of large samples (to depths 200um or more). These materials will include soft materials (e.g. colloidal suspensions, emulsions, surfactants and polymers) and biological systems. After high-pressure freezing, samples will be loaded into a Quorum PP3010T Cryo-stage for freeze fracturing, sputter coating and FIB-SEM imaging, and thus the sample holders must be compatible with this system. This equipment will be part of a shared, multi-user facility, and hence ease of use and the ability to freeze and sort multiple samples is highly desired.. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if there are any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015
Renewal: The initial contract period is 12months with the option to extend for a further four years maintenance.
