Notice Title

SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION OF ADVANCED X-RAY ANALYTICAL EQUIPMENT (DIFFRACTION) SYSTEM FOR CHARACTERISING MULTIPLE MATERIALS - CANCELLED

Notice Description

SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION OF ADVANCED X-RAY ANALYTICAL EQUIPMENT (DIFFRACTION) SYSTEM FOR CHARACTERISING MULTIPLE MATERIALS The University of Birmingham invites tenders for supply of an X-Ray analysis facility. The device will be used for measuring X-Ray diffraction of variable sample types and geometries (XRD). The system must be able to operate under a variety of parameters including high and low temperatures, varying pressures and multiple material types and sizes. Systems supplied must have some degree of temperature control and function, pressure control would also be ideal. They must be able to analyse a variety of sample types including solid, liquid and powder. They should also come with high performance computing capabilities and be able to hold and process large amounts of stored data files. Multiple X-Ray emitters and detectors would be advantageous as well as capabilities to measure multiple samples in succession. Tender response must include all up to date software versions of instrument including supportive care packages for users. Additional information: All main correspondence should go via the University's In-Tend website. Your tender documents and information must be submitted via In-Tend by the date and time specified; www.in-tendhost.com/universityofbirmingham. Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : No
