  UK Research & Innovation has published this notice through Delta eSourcing

Notice Summary
Title: UKRI-1818 Micro CT System
Notice type: Contract Award Notice
Authority: UK Research & Innovation
Nature of contract: Supplies
Procedure: Award without prior publication
Short Description: 3D X-Ray MicroCT Imaging System. Utilising innovative X-ray technology, MicroCT systems non-destructively capture 2D images, slice-by-slice, through solid samples whilst they are progressively rotated on their axis. Slices are then processed into detailed 3D models allowing not only see through a tissue, or organ, but also to see inside and make out object details as small as 0.4-0.5 μm within an entire undissected organism and make out sub-micron structural, spatial and volumetric detail. In addition we required a 4-year maintenance contract. .
