Supply, Delivery and Installation of Dynamic Laser Scattering System

Tender description

The UCD School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering is the largest of its type in Ireland and a world player in both research and education offering the widest range of both research-based and taught postgraduate programmes. UCD SMME is home for SFI Centre for Advanced Manufacturing (www.i-form.ie) and UCD’s Centre of Micro Nano Manufacturing Technology. It has the state-of-the-art micro manufacturing, metrology and characterization facilities. DLS SLS is a state-of-the-art analytical technique used by all research groups in nanoparticle characterization and allied fields on a daily basis, offering insights into size, zeta potential, and concentration. A suite of DLS SLS system is required to accelerate the discovery, optimisation, and the development of nanomedicines in diverse fields including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), catalysis, biotechnology, all of which are critical to the Irish economy. The facility will enable the applicant’s research group to build high throughput formulation and scale up facility for nanomedicine development. The Applicant Group are not the only DLS SLS users across UCD and it can be also accessed by UCD School of Chemistry, Chemical and Bioprocessing Engineering and Medicine.
