Description

PHE seeks to procure a new Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) capable of examining biological and non-biological samples with energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy capability. This would provide for a continuation of the PHE SEM service at Porton and at Science hub Harlow in the future.

The scanning electron microscope must be of the field emission gun type and be suitable for a wide range of applications e.g. clinical diagnostic investigations, biomedical research (bacteriology, virology, mycology, cell biology, parasitology, and entomology) and examination of environmental samples. The removal and disposal of the existing SEM are tendered as an desirable requirement.
