Tender description
The Institute of Regenerations and Repair (IRR) will have multiple new principal investigators starting in 2024. The IRR has very limited ULT freezer capacity available in the existing ULT freezers. There are many ULT freezers which are over 20 years old which the IRR would like to replace with newer, more efficient and spacious models to provide researchers sufficient space to keep precious clinical and infectious samples. This is essential equipment which all researchers need access to in order conduct long term experiments as well as keep samples in controlled storage environments. The freezers play a crucial role in preserving temperature-sensitive biological samples.
