    Laboratorie- og analyseutstyr

    Kaakkois-Suomen Ammattikorkeakoulu Oy needs a Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA) system for their Mikpolis RDI unit in Mikkeli, Finland, with a maximum total value of 130,000 EUR. The system should characterize viscoelastic and mechanical properties of materials, supporting various deformation modes and suitable for a wide range of materials. It must include controlled heating and cooling, the ability to perform measurements under a controlled purge-gas atmosphere, and support both dynamic and static mechanical testing. The system must come with all necessary sample holders, accessories, and software for instrument control, data acquisition, and analysis. Crucially, the analysis software must be compatible with existing NETZSCH DSC and TGA measurement data to enable combined analysis. The offered solution must be a complete and operational DMA system, including installation, commissioning, and user training. The award criterion is price (100%).

    About the bid

      South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences (Xamk) is purchasing a Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA) system according to this tender documentation. The equipment will be located at the Mikpolis RDI unit in Mikkeli, Finland. Pricing must include shipping costs to Mikkeli, Finland (Patteristonkatu 3, 50100 Mikkeli, Finland). Installation, commissioning and user training must be included in the delivery. The primary use of the equipment is the characterization of the viscoelastic and mechanical properties of materials as a function of temperature, frequency, time and applied force or deformation. The system will be used for determining properties such as storage and loss modulus, damping behaviour, creep and stress relaxation behaviour, and characteristic transition temperatures. The equipment must be suitable for a wide range of materials, including polymers, polymer composites, elastomers and biomaterials. The system must support several deformation modes, including tensile, compression and bending measurements. The DMA system must provide accurate force and displacement measurement over a wide dynamic range and enable measurements over a broad temperature and frequency range. The system must include controlled heating and cooling as well as the possibility to perform measurements under a controlled purge-gas atmosphere. The system must support both dynamic and static mechanical testing. Dynamic measurement modes must include temperature, frequency, combined temperature-frequency, load and time sweeps. Static measurement capabilities must include creep, stress relaxation and universal testing. The system must include the sample holders and accessories required for three-point bending, single and dual cantilever bending, tensile, compression and penetration measurements. The equipment must include software for instrument control, measurement execution, real-time monitoring, calibration, data acquisition and analysis. Simultaneous measurement and evaluation must be possible. The software must provide tools for determining characteristic temperatures and values and for exporting measurement data and graphical results in commonly used formats. Xamk currently operates NETZSCH DMA, DSC and TGA instruments. To maintain compatibility with the existing laboratory data and analysis workflow, the analysis software supplied with the new DMA system must be capable of opening and evaluating measurement data generated by the existing DSC and TGA systems. Compatibility with the existing measurement data is considered essential in order to enable combined analysis of DMA, DSC and TGA results and to avoid separate software environments for the different thermal analysis techniques. The system must include the necessary calibration functions and calibration materials for verification of the force, dynamic response, system compliance, phase and temperature measurement. The calibration procedures should be integrated into the instrument software. The equipment will be used in a multi-user research and testing laboratory environment. Therefore, reliable operation, reproducible measurement conditions, ease of use, efficient changing of measurement geometries, traceability of measurement configurations and availability of technical support are important. The offered solution must comprise a complete and operational DMA system including the instrument, temperature-control systems, sample holders, calibration accessories, measurement and analysis software, computer equipment required for operation, installation, commissioning and user training. A budget of EUR 130 000 (0% VAT) has been allocated for this procurement. XAMK will not accept offers exceeding this amount.Main features of the procedureThe cheapest tender that fullfills the minimum requirements will be selected.

      Microscale thermophoresis device

      Oulun yliopisto needs a spectral shift and microscale thermophoresis device for Biocenter Oulu, with a maximum total value of 189,000 EUR (excluding VAT). The device will be used to characterize and quantify nanoparticle interactions, including proteins, in solution without immobilization, and must enable assessment of sample quality and aggregation, differentiating binding events from aggregation. It needs to detect interactions based on changes in the emission spectrum of an excited fluorophore under isothermal conditions and create a microscopic non-isothermal temperature field to determine binding events based on temperature-related intensity changes and fluorescence intensity changes following thermophoresis. The device must have a measurable dynamic range of dissociation constant of at least nM-mM and binding affinity in at least nM-mM range, with low sample consumption (around 10 microlitres) and low nanomole of the labeled target. The contract duration is 36 months. The award criterion is the total price, weighted at 100%.
