    Laboratorie-, optisk- og presisjonsutstyr

    Suomen ympäristökeskus needs a flow imaging microscopy system for morphological analysis and numerical estimation of particles in water (size distribution 2µm – 1 mm) under laboratory and field conditions in Helsinki-Uusimaa, with a maximum total value of 150,000 EUR. The system must be able to image plankton and other particles as color images, calculate indicators related to cell and particle size, pigmentation, color, and shape, and process large sample volumes efficiently. It must also separate phytoplankton cells using chlorophyll fluorescence, enable the use of fluorescent dyes (FITC), allow real-time monitoring of analytics for quality control, and support basic analytics and classification of particle data through its software. The award criterion is price (100%).

    About the bid

      The object of the procurement is a flow imaging microscopy system for morphological analysis and numerical estimation of particles in water (size distribution 2µm – 1 mm) under laboratory conditions. The device must be able to image plankton and other particles in water as color images, calculate indicators related to cell and particle size, pigmentation, color and shape from the images, and enable the easy processing of large sample volumes in a reasonable time. The device must be able to separate phytoplankton cells from other particles using chlorophyll fluorescence and enable the use of fluorescent dyes (FITC). The analytics performed by the device must be able to be monitored in real time to ensure quality control. The device software must support basic analytics and classification of particle data. The device must also be able to be used reliably in field conditions on a research vessel.Main features of the procedure1. NOTIFICATION OF PROCUREMENT AND PROCUREMENT PROCEDURE The procurement procedure used is an open procedure. This is a procurement exceeding the EU threshold value, where the Finnish Act on Public Procurement and Concession Contracts (1397/2016, hereinafter referred to as the procurement law) is followed. 2. HANDLING OF TENDERS After the opening of the tenders, the inspection and evaluation of the tenders are carried out according to the criteria of the call for tenders. The opening session of the tenders is not public. 2.1 Checking that the tenderers meet the suitability requirements set for them In the handling of tenders, it is checked whether the tenderers meet the suitability requirements set for the tenderer's registration, financial and economic situation, and technical and professional competence. A tenderer who does not meet the set suitability requirements is excluded from the competition. If the tenderer or a member of its administrative, management, or supervisory body, or a person exercising representation, decision-making, or control authority, has been convicted of a crime referred to in section 80 of the procurement law, the tenderer is excluded from the competition. In addition, a tenderer may be excluded from the competition if the discretionary exclusion criterion referred to in section 81 of the procurement law applies to them. However, if the tenderer presents evidence of its reliability in accordance with section 82 of the procurement law, despite being subject to the exclusion criterion referred to in sections 80 or 81, and if the procurement unit considers the evidence and reliability sufficient, the tenderer is not excluded from the competition. 2.2 Evaluation of compliance of the tenders with the call for tenders The offered products and services must comply with the content of the call for tenders and its attachments. The tenderer must respond to all required points and attach all required certificates/statements to their tender. The compliance of the tenders with the call for tenders is checked using the tender as a whole. Tenders that do not comply with the call for tenders or the terms of the procurement procedure are excluded from the competition. 2.3 Comparison of tenders The comparison of tenders is carried out in the manner stated in the "Decision-making criteria" section of the call for tenders. 2.4 Procurement decision and notification The procurement decision is sent to all tenderers. The contract is not formed by the notification of the procurement decision but requires a separate written agreement. The contract can be signed at the earliest when there are no obstacles to its signing as referred to in the procurement law, such as an enforcement ban. No compensation is paid to tenderers for making the tender, presenting it, or participating in the procedure. The procurement is not divided into parts, as it is not profitable considering the scope of the service package to be procured. Dividing into parts does not add value to the call for tenders, and not dividing the procurement into parts is not related to the exclusion of tenderers.

    • Oulun yliopisto

      Laboratorie- og analyseutstyr

      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%.
