About

University of Bristol awarded a contract to VWR International Ltd for the procurement of UV-Vis scanning spectrophotometers to replace existing CECIL CE1011 visible light spectrophotometers.

The instruments are capable of measuring across a range of 190 nm to 1100 nm, performing single wavelength measurements, complete scans, steady state kinetics for enzymes and substrates, and timed experiments at fixed wavelengths, all selectable through a built-in user interface for standalone operation.

The original tender was for 30 instruments, but the winning bidder offered a competitive price that allowed the University to purchase additional instruments within the budget, resulting in a higher contract award value of £129,000.
