(NU/1711) Supply of a High-throughput Biophysical Instrument for Kinetic Characterisation of biomolecular interactions
Authority: Newcastle University (Education)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Kawamura group has recently moved to the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences at the University of Newcastle and are establishing a new chemical biology section. A large part of the group’s work focusses on developing chemical probes for a range of protein targets and as such biophysical characterization of theses probes is a key element of this work. To achieve this we need to purchase a High-throughput Biophysical Instrument for Kinetic Characterisation, to allow us to determine the kinetic parameters and affinities of the generated novel compounds in a high-throughput low sample requirement fashion. This instrument is being funded by the European Research Council grant SEP-210651063. Short title is CPTarget. Title " Cyclic peptide platform as an approach to target validation
The scope of this contract is for the supply, delivery and help in installation of the equipment as detailed in the ITT to the University, with after-sales support and 12 months warranty and maintenance.
CPV: Laboratory, optical and precision equipments (excl. glasses)
