Confocal imaging Raman microscope

Aalto University Foundation sr needs a confocal imaging Raman microscope. The delivery will take place in Helsinki-Uusimaa. The award criterion is price, weighted at 100%.

THz measurement system

The University of Oulu in Finland needs a new terahertz spectroscopy and imaging system for its AEC / MIC unit, with a maximum total value of 150,000 euros (excluding VAT). This system, intended for research use, will complement existing infrastructure by providing a non-contact electromagnetic characterization method for the sub-THz/THz frequency range, allowing for the analysis of materials, coatings, printed structures, composites, and ceramics without damaging samples. The measurable quantities include the amplitude and phase of transmitted radiation and the derived absorption coefficient. The contract duration is 6 months. The sole award criterion is the total price.

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%).

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%.
