## About this tender

The University of Sheffield is out to tender on behalf of the Department of Oncology and Metabolism for an X-Ray Irradiator.

Scope of Requirement:

The Department of Oncology and Metabolism ([sheffield.ac.uk](https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/medicine/department-oncology-metabolism)) in the Medical School currently houses a Caesium (137Cs) irradiator (purchased from CIS Bio International - model number IBL437c) which is subject to strict security, licensing, regulatory compliance, regular inspections and annual recalibration.

Given these issues and in line with Project Fieldfare - a government initiative to replace Caesium irradiators in the UK with alternative technologies - the University of Sheffield is looking to purchase an X ray irradiator to support our preclinical research and experimental studies.

The X Ray Irradiator system will be used for studying the effects of radiation on molecular components and pathways in various cell culture models, or to create mutations for downstream analysis and/or ablative treatments for stem cell feeder layers.

The full technical specification can be found in the tender documentation which will be sent to you once you have expressed your interest.
