The Supply, Delivery and Commissioning of an X-Ray Powder Diffraction Screening Platform

Tender description

On behalf of the Continuous Manufacturing and Advanced Crystallisation (CMAC) Centre, the University of Strathclyde sought to acquire a suitably qualified and experienced supplier to supply, delivery and commission a powder X-ray diffraction screening platform to operate in CMAC’s existing world class X-ray Facility in the Technology and Innovation Centre (TIC) at the University of Strathclyde. On behalf of the Continuous Manufacturing and Advanced Crystallisation (CMAC) center, the University of Strathclyde conducted a mini-competition under the NWUPC High Value Laboratory Equipment Framework to secure a suitably qualified and experienced supplier to supply, deliver and commission a powder X-ray diffraction screening platform to operate in CMAC’s existing world class X-ray Facility in the Technology and Innovation Centre (TIC) at the University of Strathclyde. CMAC’s X-ray suite is a key pillar in the centre’s overall analytical capability, providing an expansive and comprehensive array of X-ray techniques, to aid the day to day and specialised analyses of the crystallisation activities, and support industrial partnerships with Tier 1 (industrial) partners. Replacing an older piece of equipment, CMAC required the new equipment represent a significant advancement in technology, providing marked improvement at supporting the centre to achieve its objectives.
