This open tender falls under the category of Laboratory, optical and precision equipment. The procurement is currently in the active tender stage, with submissions due by 28 January 2020. The successful supplier will be expected to deliver this state-of-the-art equipment to the Biomolecular analysis core facility located at the university's Manchester campus, with the contract period starting on 31 January 2020 and running until 31 March 2020. This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses that specialise in laboratory instruments and analytical apparatus, particularly those that focus on unique molecular interaction analysis technologies. Companies with expertise in developing equipment for molecular association studies, especially those leveraging graphene or lipid bilayer technologies, may find this tender particularly relevant. Engaging with this tender could enhance market visibility and foster growth for suppliers capable of delivering cutting-edge solutions to academic and research institutions. ## Notice The University wishes to appoint a Contractor or Contractors to supply an instrument that is capable of monitoring label free interactions of molecules using surfaces that can be modified ex-situ. The instrument will be used for molecular association studies with graphene coated surfaces, lipid bilayers and cells attached to coated surfaces ('chips'). The equipment is intended as an orthogonal approach to investigate molecular interactions to provide added benefit alongside our Q-Sense, BLI and Biacore T200 systems. We are not wishing to purchase replicas of the same type of analysis. The equipment will be located at the University of Manchester in the Biomolecular analysis core facility.
