Notice Information

Notice Title

GB-Leeds: Benchtop NMR spectrometer

Notice Description

The School of Chemical and Process Engineering at the University of Leeds is seeking tenders for a Benchtop NMR spectrometer. This instrument will be used to conduct online and offline analysis of reactions. This is critical for a project which aims to develop self-learning 'intelligent' systems for the manufacture of polymers. NMR is by far the most convenient method of characterising these materials, but larger 'high field' instruments are cumbersome, not portable and require dedicated technician. Furthermore, the high sensitivity is not necessary for the application herein. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
