01What is being requested

The University of Groningen is looking for an advanced direct electron detector for their cryo-electron microscope to support ERC research into the actin-based motility of human pathogens. This is a highly specific, technical procurement with high compatibility requirements for scientific excellence.

The University of Groningen (UG) intends to purchase a new direct electron detector to upgrade the existing Thermo Fisher Scientific Talos Arctica 200 kV transmission cryogenic electron microscope for high-resolution data acquisition of individual proteins and their complexes. The new detector must be fully compatible with the existing microscope and will replace the combination of the current camera and the outdated energy filter. In addition, it should provide the option to be re-mounted after an energy filter to allow for a future upgrade. The detector must enable high-speed data collection

06Frequently asked questions

What technical compatibility requirements must the detector meet?
The new detector must be fully compatible with the existing microscope and will replace the current camera and the outdated energy filter. In addition, the detector must offer the option to be mounted after an energy filter for future upgrades.
What performance requirements are set for data acquisition?
The detector must enable high-speed data collection while preserving full temporal and spatial resolution. This is necessary for studying the molecular basis of actin-based motility of human pathogens.
In which scientific framework is this contract being executed?
The purchase takes place within the framework of the ERC Starting Grant 'Actin in Action'. The Membrane Enzymology research group uses the upgraded microscope for research into the motility of human pathogens.
