## Summary

The University of St Andrews is seeking suppliers for a Dynamic Light Scattering Instrument, necessary for measuring particle size and mobility. This procurement falls under the goods category within the education sector and is located in St Andrews, UK (postcode KY16 9LB). The procurement method used is an open procedure, and key dates include the tender submission deadline on 11 January 2019 and the award date of 25 April 2019. The contract, valued at £47,301.60, is currently active following the completion of the tender stage.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in scientific instrumentation and accessories, particularly those focusing on light scattering and analytics for various materials, including nanoparticles and biomacromolecules. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in providing high-quality technical equipment and software support would be particularly well-suited to compete, enabling them to expand their reach in the education and research markets.

## Notice

We require a light scattering instrument and all necessary accessories for the measurement of particle size and size distribution by dynamic light scattering and electrophoretic mobility by electrophoretic light scattering. The system should be capable of batch measurements on samples dispersed in either aqueous or non-aqueous solvents at a controlled temperature. We require to measure samples composed of metal, semiconductor or polymer nanoparticles, supramolecular aggregates, proteins and other biomacromolecules. The instrument should be controlled by an appropriate software interface allowing automatic measurements, data quality assurance and results analysis.
