## Summary

The University of Strathclyde, a public body governed by law, located in Glasgow, UK, has awarded a contract for the supply, delivery, and installation of a Gel Permeation Chromatography System in the field of education. The procurement process was conducted through an open procedure, and the award was given to PSS Polymer Standards Service GmbH on 19th February 2019. The contract is currently active with a value of £79,990 GBP.

This tender by the University of Strathclyde presents an opportunity for suppliers of goods, particularly those in the field of analytical instruments or laboratory equipment, to engage in a competitive bidding process. With the University requiring a state-of-the-art GPC system compatible with specific software and detection modules, businesses specialising in polymer analysis and chromatography systems are well-suited to participate in this procurement process. The University aims to characterise synthetic polymers and analyse molecular structures, offering potential growth opportunities for suppliers in this specialised industry.

## Notice

The Department of Pure and Applied Chemistry at the University of Strathclyde requires a gel permeation chromatography system. The GPC system will be used to characterise synthetic polymers, such as acrylates, methacrylates, acrylamides, polyethers, polyester, etc. Homo and copolymers will be analysed. Of particular interest is the average molecular weight and the dispersity of the polymers as well as copolymer composition. Please note that the University requires the proposed software and detection modules of this system to be compatible with an existing system comprising of a PSS security GPC (pump, degasser, autosampler, column oven, RI detector, winGPC UniChrome Software).
