Tender description

The University wishes to appoint a contractor or contractors to supply a label free interaction analysis instrumentation for the analysis of molecular binding to complex systems. Capable of monitoring label free interactions of molecules using surfaces that can be modified ex-situ. The instrument will be used for molecular association studies with graphene coated surfaces, lipid bilayers and cells attached to coated surfaces (‘chips’). The biomolecular analysis core facility is a state-of-the-art resource for the identification of proteins and the subsequent investigation of their size, shape and interactions. The facility is one of the largest of its kind in the country. It contains nine complimentary biophysical analysis systems. They are supported by high resolution electrophoretic and chromatographic micro separation systems. Recent publications using data created within the facility include ones in nature and journal of cell science.
