What is being bought

Published requirement description

C100 cassette printers and digital integration modules - Only the Axlab C100 is compatible with the Trust’s existing Axlab automated microtomes due to proprietary integration protocols. No alternative supplier can provide safe or functional system integration, and non‑integrated options would introduce operational risk and inefficiency. Axlab is therefore the sole technically viable supplier.
