## Notice

The University of Leeds is seeking tenders for a field flow fractionation (FFF) system as a multi-user facility for the separation and analysis of nanoscale to microscale materials. The FFF system needs to be appropriate for use with wide-ranging sample types, including macromolecules, biomolecular assemblies, self-assembled materials such as micelles and vesicles, inorganic nanoparticles.
