CEFAS25-138 Supply of a High-Precision Microbalance

The Cefas Chemicals Programme, primarily funded by Defra, undertakes research, testing, and advisory activities to support UK chemical risk assessment and regulatory obligations. The programme underpins national commitments regarding chemical safety, endocrine disruption, and environmental protection, with a focus on the development of test guidelines, endocrine disruption studies, ecotoxicology, and the advancement of new approach methodologies that aim to minimise animal testing. Accurate weighing of various chemicals is essential to support our experimental work. Currently, the laboratory houses a microbalance that was acquired over 15 years ago and is now discontinued. Securing a suitable replacement has become a priority to ensure continuity of operations. This RFQ seeks proposals for the supply of a high-precision microbalance that meets the specifications outlined below. The new equipment will enable Cefas to continue delivering robust scientific outputs while supporting sustainability and operational efficiency. Scope of Requirements: 1.
