(NU/1831) Supply of an AFM with PFM

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.
