    Laboratorie- og analyseutstyr

    Itä-Suomen yliopisto needs a soil particle size analyzer for its School of Forest Sciences in Joensuu, Pohjois-Karjala, Finland, for a duration of 4 months. The device should be capable of accurate measurement of a wide range of particle sizes (0.1 – 2500 µm) in environmental, soil sediment, and peat samples, supporting high-precision grain size analysis for research, monitoring, and environmental assessment. The award criteria are Price (70%) and Quality score (10%).

    About the bid

      School of Forest Sciences (University of Eastern Finland, Joensuu campus) is purchasing a soil particle size analyzer capable of accurate measurement of wide range of particle sizes in environmental, soil sediment and peat samples. The device is intended to support laboratory operations requiring high precision grain size analysis for research, monitoring, and environmental assessment. Soil particle size distribution (PSD) is a core parameter used in forest sciences, environmental sciences that gives essential background information for research: analysis of forest management, soil science and forest damage risks. In addition to scientific research, soil analysis is a significant part of the teaching at School of Forest Sciences. Currently Laboratory of School of Forest Sciences does not include a modern laser diffraction analyzer capable of covering the required size spectrum (0.1 – 2500 µm) with sufficient accuracy, reproducibility, and sample throughput.Main features of the procedureThe Finnish Act on Public Procurement and Concession Contracts (1397/2016) shall be complied with the procurement. The contract award procedure to be applied is Open procedure (1397/2016 - 32§).
