About

University of Lincoln awarded a contract to Labtech International Ltd 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 to enable the use of oxidising metal with ultra-fine grain sizes, and is capable of fully automated coating with a tilt/rotation stage for even coating.

The instrument is intended for use within the University of Lincoln's Advanced Engineering and Research and Development Building (The Bridge), a new Engineering and Materials R&D centre that serves Lincolnshire's science and technology sector and acts as a collaborative research facility between industry partners and the University.

The purchase is part of the Bridge scheme, 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 carried out a Request for Quotation process.

The contract value is £32,398.16.
