## Notice

This tender is for a field flow fractionation set up capable of operation in analytical or preparative mode (centrifugal, asymmetric and electric) that will be housed in the University of Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This tender is for a field flow fractionation set up capable of operation in analytical or preparative mode (centrifugal, asymmetric and electric) that will be housed in the University of Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences. The requested system will be used as a standalone equipment when coupled with light scattering or connected with existing pieces of equipment (for example, mass spectrometers, nanoparticle tracking analysis). The proposed application of the system is the measurement of novel nanotechnology prototypes. Full details of the requirement can be found in the Techncial Envelope of PCS-T.

Options: The Contracting Authority reserves the right to request additional deliveries by the Successful Tenderer, either intended as partial replacement of supplies or installations or as extensions of existing supplies and installations. The Contracting Authority may at it's sole discretion exercise this option.
