Radioanalytical pyrolyser / sample combustion system for extraction of volatile radionuclides

The University of Helsinki needs a radioanalytical pyrolyser/sample combustion system for a 12-month contract to prepare environmental, decommissioning, and radioactive-waste related samples for the determination of volatile radionuclides, specifically H-3 and C-14, and preferably also Cl-36 and I-129. The system should be capable of processing at least 6 samples per working day, with the ability to handle larger sample masses or combine multiple preparations for low-activity samples. The award criteria are Price (50%) and Quality (50%).

Laboratory scale hydrogen membrane separation unit

The University of Oulu needs a compact laboratory-scale hydrogen membrane separation and characterization system for research activities related to hydrogen purification, gas separation processes, and membrane performance evaluation. The system, which should be delivered as a complete turnkey solution including hardware, software, documentation, commissioning, and training, must be suitable for installation and operation inside a laboratory fume hood with active ventilation of 0.3 m/s. It should support flexible research by enabling precise control of gas composition, flow, and pressure, provide reliable and reproducible experimental data, and facilitate membrane separation experiments, integrity verification, and safe operation with hydrogen-containing gas mixtures. The system must also have automated monitoring, process control, and data acquisition capabilities, and be designed for future integration of external equipment like humidification and vacuum systems. The maximum total value for the system, including all mandatory features, cannot exceed 100,000 Euros (0% VAT). The project is co-funded by the EU Just Transition Fund (JTF) and the Council of Oulu region, and the procurement is conditional upon the receipt of external funding. The contract duration is 6 months.

Multivessel bioreactor system

Tampere University Foundation sr needs a multivessel bioreactor system for bacterial (co-)cultivations, allowing controlled transitions between aerobic and anaerobic phases. The system should include 2 autoclavated glass vessels (working volume 50-200 mL), vessel headplates with necessary ports for mechanical mixer, gas supply, sensors, feed, sampling, and exhaust lines, as well as software to operate the system. Delivery and on-site services, including installation and user's training, are also required. The system will be delivered to Pirkanmaa, Finland. Offers will be evaluated based on comparison price (25%) and technical features and support (75%).

Continuous-wave (CW) laser source and an optical system for preheating materials used in metal additive manufacturing

The University of Turku needs a continuous-wave (CW) laser source and an optical system for preheating materials used in metal additive manufacturing, with a maximum total value of 80,000 EUR over 2 years. The University of Turku will be responsible for integrating the device and for the associated research processes. The project location is Varsinais-Suomi. The award criterion is price (100%).
