Tip Ehanced Raman Spectrometer

Tender description

Tip Enhanced Raman spectrometer (TERS) which will provide nanometre resolved vibrational spectroscopy and chemical imaging with which to study a wide range of biomaterials, biofluids and biological tissues. Nanonics hold the patent that means they are the only manufacturer that can offer an instrument that can deliver the in situ TERS measurements of externally induced phenomenon we need. The patented system also delivers Q factors > 1000 in liquids (about 100x better than anyone else achieves even with a non-TERS AFM ) and force measurements <5 pN (10x lower than any non-TERS system).
