This tender for a Powder XRD system by the Natural History Museum offers growth opportunities to businesses in the goods industry, particularly those specializing in diffraction apparatus. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are deemed suitable for this procurement. Businesses interested in state-of-the-art laboratory equipment for crystal and sample analysis would be well-suited to compete in this tendering process.

## Notice

The Natural History Museum (NHM) wishes to secure two X-ray Diffractometer systems (a Single-Crystal XRD and a Powder XRD). These are required for a range of the most demanding scientific applications in the Natural History Museum, London. We are looking for a state-of-the-art Single-Crystal XRD instrument (SCXRD) that enables the structure analysis of very small and complex crystals at ambient and non-ambient conditions (low/high temperature, high pressure). We are also looking for a state-of-the-art Powder XRD instrument that enables the analysis of both tiny and large sample volumes at the highest resolution, speed, and reproducibility. Versatility in measurement modes and sample stages is essential. The instrument shall be equipped with heating and cooling stages to monitor the thermal behaviour of phases. Auto-sample changing capability is required to ensure laboratory efficiency and high throughput. This award notice is for Lot 2 - the Powder XRD System
