Description

The University of Exeter is looking to purchase a Leica LMD6 Laser Microdissection (LMD) System.  This system stage to be kept still during dissection, ensuring accurate dissection of target cells. Microscope slide bed motors can be disengaged for free movement of the stage by hand and the software picks up the position, speeding up identification of an area of interest.  Optics are specifically designed for laser microdissection; these custom-made objectives are made for the process and will therefore be more accurate and last longer.  This system includes the software specific to Leica that enables the automated dissection of cells from samples based on an original selection criteria, this allows for automated sample collection, speeding up the process dramatically and making high throughput study designs possible. The LMD design means that samples are dissected and collected contact- and contamination-free..

Short Pulse Laser

4232/AMRC/RH/24 - Short Pulse Laser The University of Sheffield wishes to invite tenders for a Short Pulse Laser on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre Factory 2050, Sheffield Business Park, Europa Avenue, Sheffield, S9 1ZA The Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) are looking to replace their SPI redPOWER QUBE 2kW continuous-wave laser currently located at Factory 2050. The main application of this new laser will be further cutting trials with thin sheets of electrical steel for the production of electrical machine laminations, initially to produce perforations. A remote laser cutting is being investigated as an alternative to traditional gantry-mounted fusion laser cutting. The perceived benefits of this method of cutting are that the cut rate is increased (the scanner is capable of speeds of up to 8,000 mm/s) and that the thermal damage (measured in terms of electromagnetic performance, not physical material properties) is reduced, both with reference to the traditional fusion cutting baseline. Materials being investigated are high-silicon steel (e.g. NO20) and cobalt iron (e.g. Hiperco50 - 49% cobalt content). Sheet thicknesses could range from 0.35 mm down to 0.1 mm. Tender Process and Documentation: This procurement is an open procedure. The ITT can be downloaded by registering and expressing your interest on the University`s e-tendering system https://in-tendhost.co.uk/Sheffield If you have any questions or comments in relation to this tender they must be submitted via the In-tend System, this can be accessed at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/Sheffield Completed tenders must be returned through the same e-tendering system.
