## Summary

The Bangor University procurement process involves the acquisition of a high-throughput, long-read DNA Sequencer for the Centre for Environmental Biotechnology. The buying organisation, Bangor University, located in Bangor, is seeking to establish metabolomic and proteomic capacity, focusing on microbial genome sequencing. The procurement stage is at the award phase, with a contract signed on 14th July 2022. This opportunity falls under the goods category and is relevant to Laboratory, optical, and precision equipment. 

This tender for a DNA Sequencer from Bangor University presents an opportunity for businesses specializing in high-resolution analytical mass-spectrometry instruments, robotics, and other laboratory equipment. Companies interested in genetic sequencing technologies and microbial genomics are well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The clear focus on bioanalytical capabilities and cutting-edge laboratory equipment makes this tender ideal for businesses in the biotechnology and life sciences industry looking to enhance their research and development capabilities.

## Notice

Bangor University is currently operating the Centre for Environmental Biotechnology (CEB). This project is co-funded by Bangor University and a grant from the ERDF West Wales and the Valleys Operational Programme. The CEB bioanalytical laboratory is looking to establish qualitative and quantitative metabolomic and proteomic capacity for a broad range of small molecule classes and proteomics applications. We acquired inter alia high resolution analytical mass-spectrometry instruments, high-throughput pipetting and colony-picking robotics, cell sorting instruments, fermentation bioreactors, protein purification workstations, tweezer-microdissector workstation and standard benchtop equipment for microbiology, genomics and protein studies. This procurement if for a high-throughput (up to 120 Giga bases per run), long-read (minimum 200,000 bases in a single read) benchtop DNA sequencing instrument for de novo sequencing of microbial genomes, metagenomes and PCR amplicons sequencing.
