    Brief

    The University of Leicester, Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, is seeking to procure a Quad Systems C4 NMR spectrometer and associated peripherals to advance its research capabilities in molecular and structural biology. This specialized instrument is funded by BBSRC and will support investigations into nucleic acid-protein, protein-protein, and small-molecule-protein interactions. The system features multiple optimized probeheads designed for maximum sensitivity in biologically relevant solvent systems and integrated LED illumination at wavelengths of 280, 390, 460, 490, 530, and 600nm for photo-CIDNP applications. Suppliers should note that this is a complete, fully integrated system installation requiring expertise in NMR spectrometer setup and calibration. The successful supplier will be responsible for delivering, installing, and commissioning the equipment to meet the university's research standards and maintain ongoing support for this cutting-edge biophysical research facility.
