- Description
- The National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) have a requirement for a Single Tilt Liquid Nitrogen CryoTransfer Holder with matching turbo vacuum system and temperature controller. This is a brand name or equal solicitation in accordance with FAR 52. 211-6. This is a 626 Cryo Holder manufactured by GATAN Incorporated 5794 West Las Positas BLVD Pleasanton, CA 94588. This equipment has the following unique features: Frost-free specimen transfer Light weight cryo workstation provides low temperature specimen loading to protect the frozen-hydrated grid. One piece cryo shield encapsulates the frozen-hydrated grid providing protection against damage caused by warming and frost formation during transfer from the workstation to the electron microscope. High resolution performance Stable specimen temperature minimizes thermal drift to ensure high resolution performance. Clipring TM specimen securing mechanism Maintains excellent thermal contact between the specimen holder and the frozen-hydrated specimen grid. Accessory Cliprings are sized to accommodate silicon nitride TEM window grids. Robust design Easy to use for beginner (60º version) or intermediate to expert (70º version) cryo electron microscopist. Precise temperature measurement Temperature of the holder is monitored by a calibrated silicone diode that provides a sensitive, linear temperature response. The conductor rod connecting the specimen holder tip to the liquid nitrogen dewar contains an Electric heater to change the specimen temperature. The Item/Description/Quantity: 1 each #626 Cryo transfer single tilt holder with workstation & tools, 1 each # 900 SmartSet Cold Stage Controller with cable, 1 each #655 Turbo Pumping Station, includes work column, CC gauge tube, one TEM holder module and one shut-off valve and one each #655XXX4 TEM Holder Module. The government will award a fixed price purchase order to the responsible contractor. Offerors providing other than the GATAN brand must provide technical specifications and Past Performance providing similar products.
