Minimum Specifications:
This statement of needs is for the procurement of two, vibration isolation, microscopy-grade workstations. These are our specific requirements:
The tables must be delivered fully pre-assembled in a standard roll-off crate that makes unpacking safe and easy.
Must be 36 x 60 in. wide and have a 35.8 in. working height.
Must have a 4.3 in. thick breadboard platform interface, which acts as both a docking surface and an accessory mount; the platform must also feature grid markings along the edges to allow the user to locate, document, and reconstruct experiments with ease.
Must have a working surface made of 3/16 in. 400 Series ferromagnetic stainless steel.
The work surface must have ½” borders that allow the mounting of components closer to the table edge, thus expanding the usable area.
Must have a trussed honeycomb design that maximizes stiffness while minimizing deflection.
Must feature a corner bracket design that integrates bubble levels and multiple attachment points, and that provides seismic restraint, docking, and float height indicators of the breadboard.
Must have integrated leveling feet and casters.
Must be equipped with pneumatic isolators to reduce transmitted vertical and horizontal vibrations by 85% or more at 5Hz and by more than 95% after 10 Hz.
Must have a gross loading capacity of up to 1300 lb.
Must include a 36 x 60 in. under-table shelf designed specifically to be mounted under the optical breadboard but above the floor, such as the quoted product #VIS-UTS-3660-325 which is compatible with the Vision IsoStation (quoted product #VIS3660-PG4-325A)
