In-situ microscope

Flow imaging microscope

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%).

Multivessel bioreactor system

Tampere University Foundation sr needs a multivessel bioreactor system for bacterial (co-)cultivations, to be delivered in Pirkanmaa, Finland. The system should allow controlled transitions between aerobic and anaerobic phases, include 2 autoclavated glass vessels (working volume 50-200 mL) with all necessary ports, and come with software, delivery, installation, and user training. Offers will be evaluated based on comparison price (25%) and technical features and support (75%).

Multi-purpose high-throughput analytical TEMs

Stockholms universitet needs two multi-purpose high-throughput analytical TEM microscopes, with a maximum total value of 55.5 million SEK. The goods are to be delivered in Stockholms län. The award criteria are based on quality.

Supply and maintenance of a desktop SEM-EDX scanning electron microscope in custom build glovebox for the JRC Geel.

The European Commission, DG JRC - Joint Research Centre, needs a desktop SEM-EDX scanning electron microscope in a custom-built glovebox for the JRC Geel, with a maximum total value of 300,000 EUR over 84 months. The microscope will be used for characterizing radioactive material. The award criterion is price, weighted at 100%.

The procurement of the Supply, Installation and Commissioning of a Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscope (FIB-SEM) with Gallium Ion Source

Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU) needs the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning, and acceptance of one focused ion beam scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM) dual-beam platform. This instrument will serve a multi-user research environment in the Copenhagen area for high-resolution surface imaging, site-specific cross-sectioning, TEM lamella preparation (including automated workflows), 3D FIB-SEM tomography, gas-assisted deposition and etching, nanoscale manipulation, and elemental microanalysis by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and ToF-SIMS. The award criteria are Price (30%) and Quality of the solution (70%). Suppliers must provide at least 3 references for comparable agreements, each with a value of at least DKK 10,000,000, concerning the supply, delivery, installation, commissioning, and acceptance of a FIB-SEM dual-beam platform or a comparable service, with the agreement not being more than 5 years old.
