## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, based in Glasgow, has completed the procurement process for the supply, delivery, and commissioning of Aqueous Gel Permeation Chromatography Equipment. This project was initiated through an open tender, with a total value of £62,431. The award for this contract was signed on 10 February 2021, marking the completion of the procurement stage. The tender is categorised under the goods procurement sector, specifically within the education industry.

This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in laboratory equipment and scientific instrumentation to expand their market presence. Companies that provide advanced chromatography systems, particularly those focused on the precise measurement and analysis of polymers and proteins, would be ideally positioned to compete in similar future tenders. Given the comprehensive applications of the Aqueous Gel Permeation Chromatography system in biochemistry and material science, suppliers with expertise in these fields will find ample opportunities for growth.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The University of Strathclyde has procured an Aqueous Gel Permeation Chromatography system. This system is tailored toward the characterization of water-soluble polymers and proteins (aqueous GPC) encompassing a suite of three detectors (refractive index, UV-vis, and light scattering). This will allow measurement of molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, hydrodynamic radius, and aggregation of these macromolecules. This will enable determination of the mechanism of water-based polymerizations, characterization of biomaterials, 3D bioprinting inks, drug delivery systems and polymers from renewable resources. Moreover, protein size, conformation and aggregation, as well as many other questions of fundamental and practical relevance will be studied with the aqueous GPC.

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