Tender description

The University of Warwick has a requirement to purchase a semi-automated plunge-freezing device for reproducible preparation of samples for cryo-TEM. The Advanced Bioimaging RTP helps researchers answer their scientific questions using state-of-the art 3D electron microscopy and light microscopy imaging equipment. Our strategy is to offer this advanced bioimaging capability and the expertise to deliver high impact results to researchers both at Warwick and beyond. The Advanced Bioimaging RTP provides the training and expertise required to operate the equipment as well as providing a service to users. Due to successful funding from BBSRC, Alert14 and more recently the founding of the Midlands Regional CryoEM Consortium (established 2017 through £4.9M funding from MRC and partner universities Warwick, Leicester, Birmingham and Nottingham), we have one high-end microscope (Jeol 2200 FEG-TEM with internal energy filter) and a state-of-the-art camera (Gatan K2 Summit Direct electron). Lot 1: Plunge freezer. Please see procurement documentation for more information.
