## Notice

UKRI MRC are purchasing a C-Trap G2 in order to study biological processes at the single-molecule level from multiple perspectives. The C-Trap G2 allows the correlation of mechanical and fluorescence measurements in a controlled and quantitative manner and provides an unparalleled detailed and broad view on bio-molecular interactions. This requirement is for additional deliveries by the original supplier which are intended either as a partial replacement of supplies or installations or as the extension of existing supplies or installations where a change of supplier would oblige the contracting authority to acquire supplies having different technical characteristics which would result in incompatibility or disproportionate technical difficulties in operation and maintenance.
