Description

This requirement is for the purchase of a Glacios Cryo-TEM system for UKRI - MRC. Currently the Research Complex at Harwell does not have cryo-EM capability, and this microscope will enable cutting edge experiments at RCaH, and in collaboration with eBIC and the Rosalind Franklin Institute (RFI) and meet the immediate need for COVID-19 response work. The Thermo Scientific Glacios Cryo-TEM with 200 kV X-FEG is the only viable option for UKRI-MRC's requirement due to compatibility with existing microscopes and outputs on site.
