## Notice

The purchase of an attachment for an existing high-pressure freezer, to allow development of new Cryo-CLEM workflows. The only way to achieve the required workflow is to fully integrate fluorescence microscopy with current high-pressure freezer which is only possible with this attachment from the original manufacturer. As the system needs to fully integrate with the CryoCapCell Instrument, a specialised device is sold with very limited numbers, therefore are no equivalent systems available from any other manufacturer or supplier. Additional information: The term and conditions relating to this purchase are provided in the Contract, which matches the Contract number cited in the narrative to this Purchase Order and are specific to this Contract. Where the Contract number is not so cited, then our standard terms and conditions will apply which are available at :- https://www.ukri.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/UKRI-090123-ProcurementContractData-2658-December2022.pdf
