The brief

This is a contract award notice for the purchase of a combined carbon evaporation and metal sputtering sample coater to prepare insulating samples for analysis in the SEM.

The coater reaches high vacuum in order to enable the use of oxidising metal with ultra-fine grain sizes.

The coater is capable of fully automated coating and includes a tilt/rotation stage to enable even coating.

The instrument is intended for use within the University of Lincoln's Advanced Engineering and Research and Development Building (The Bridge).

Hosted by the University of Lincoln, The Bridge is a new Engineering and Materials Research and Development (R&D) centre that sits at the heart of, and serves, Lincolnshire's science and technology sector.

The Bridge R&D centre is designed to be a collaborative research facility acting as a bridge between industry partners and the University.

The purchase made under this contract award notice is part of the Bridge scheme which is externally funded by the European Regional Development Fund along with the Greater Lincolnshire Local Enterprise Partnership (GLLEP) via the Single Local Growth Fund.

The University has carried out a Request for Quotation process.
