Acquisition of a FEG Cryo Transmission Electron Microscope together with Direct Electron Detector (DED) Plus Accessories
We intend to purchase a supporting microscope to screen samples before they are analyzed on the Titan Krios CryoEM instrument that is located at The Core Facility for Integrated Microscopy (CFIM) at UCPH.
We intend to purchase a supporting microscope to screen samples before they are analyzed on the Titan Krios CryoEM instrument that is located at The Core Facility for Integrated Microscopy (CFIM) at UCPH. A supporting microscope is essential to effectively analyze an increasing number of samples and will be beneficial to all users.
Section IV: Procedure
- The works, supplies or services can be provided only by a particular economic operator for the following reason:
- absence of competition for technical reasons
Thermo fisher scientific has the best world coverage and largest installed base of cryo microscopes: over 150 Krios systems (300 kV) and more than 50 Arctica systems (200 kV). Thermo fisher microscopes have the best productivity and the best publication record in the Cryo-EM field: >98 % of high-resolution structures (4 Å or better) is based on thermo fisher microscope data. Of particular importance is that thermo fisher scientific systems enable proven seamless sample transition from their systems such as Glacios to a high-resolution imaging Krios (the system that is in place at UCPH). Samples can be transferred in a vitreous state between systems using Autoloader cassettes and AutoGrids.
Thermo fisher scientific is 1 company provider: microscope, software, cameras and vitrification device that simplifies the purchasing process. For service and application support for the complete workflow it is advantageous to have all expertise available from 1 source
