This equipment, valued at £220,000 GBP, is intended for structural characterization in various scientific fields and must be delivered by June 2024. The procurement method is an open procedure covered by the GPA, with the tender period closing on 11th March 2024. The bid opening will be held at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in research, testing, and scientific technical simulation to compete for the supply of Small and Wide Angle X-Ray Scattering Equipment. Companies specializing in materials chemistry, physics, engineering, pharmaceutics, biology, and other related fields may find this tender well-suited for their expertise. The University's buyer profile indicates it is a body governed by public law with a focus on education, providing further context for potential suppliers interested in participating in this procurement process. ## Notice The University is seeking to purchase Small and Wide Angle X-Ray Scattering Equipment to be delivered no later than June 2024. Small and Wide Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS/WAXS) Technique has an exceptional significance for the structural (e.g. nanostructural) characterization of the matter, because it can be employed under conditions where Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is not useful (i.e. under wet conditions, at various temperatures, and for real-time, time-resolved, high-throughput and in-situ experiments). Moreover, Angstrom range X-ray wavelength enables capturing of morphological information at molecular and nanoscale levels. A broad range of samples including powders, pastes, films and fibres can be studied, for which various sample holders e.g. capillary holder, paste cells, etc. are designed. In general, the 2-D images or 1-D patterns captured by specialized detector/s are analysed using designated software/s to identify phases/polymorphs, calculate lattice paramete ### Lot Information Lot 1 The University is seeking to purchase Small and Wide Angle X-Ray Scattering Equipment to be delivered no later than June 2024.
