Procurement of UV-Vis Scanning Spectrometers

Description

The University of Bristol School of Biochemistry is looking to replace a number of our 75 CECIL CE1011 visible light spectrophotometers with UV-Vis scanning spectrophotometers. The equipment required are scanning spectrophotometers that are capable of measuring across a range from 190 nm - 1100 nm. They need to be able to collect data at single wavelength measurements across the whole range of wavelengths, complete scans across the whole range of wavelengths, conduct steady state kinetics for various enzymes and substrates, and timed experiments at fixed wavelengths. These tests should be selectable through a built-in user interface so that a computer is not required in addition to the spectrophotometer, allowing it to standalone. The original tender was for 30 instruments due to the budget currently available. However, the winning bidder has offered the instruments at a competitive price that has allowed the University to purchase additional instruments within the budget. This is reflected in a higher contract award value than the value of the original bid.
