(NU/1831) Supply of an AFM with PFM

Tender description

The Biomedical Engineering research hub in the School of Engineering, as well as other research groups in the Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering and Faculty of Medical Sciences at Newcastle University, require AFM with PFM capabilities capabilities to support a wide range of research activities related to Medical Technologies. Therefore, we are looking to purchase an AFM-PFM equipment that will enable us to nano-characterise new biomaterials and technologies for tissue engineering, analysis cell-cell and cell-materials interface in dry and wet/liquid state (e.g. property measurements of hydrogels, cells and tissues) and explore new healthcare research frontiers on the nanoscale. This purchase is being funded by the Wolfson Foundation. The scope of this contract is for the supply, delivery and installation of the equipment detailed in the Invitation to Tender documents to the University, with after-sales support and 12 months warranty and maintenance. Expressions of interest in this project can be made by registering via the University's etendering portal at: https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert/Index?advertId=1f5383a9-af95-ed11-811c-005056b64545 The contract reference is NU/1830 The deadline for expressing an interest in this tender is Tuesday 14th February 2023 at 16:00 hours GMT Lot 1: The Biomedical Engineering research hub in the School of Engineering, as well as other research groups in the Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering and Faculty of Medical Sciences at Newcastle University, require AFM with PFM capabilities capabilities to support a wide range of research activities related to Medical Technologies.
