25N05582 - Acquisition for Milli-Q Equipment
About This Opportunity
TranslatedThis tender, identified by reference 25N05582, is for the acquisition of Milli-Q equipment. Milli-Q is a well-known brand of laboratory water purification systems, producing ultrapure and pure water essential for a wide range of scientific applications, including analytical chemistry, molecular biology, and pharmaceutical research. The specific type of Milli-Q system required will depend on the purity levels and volume of water needed by the procuring organization. This could range from benchtop units producing laboratory-grade water to larger systems capable of delivering high-purity water for critical analyses. The tender likely outlines the required water quality parameters (e.g., resistivity, total organic carbon levels, bacterial counts), flow rates, and any specific features or consumables needed. The acquisition aims to ensure a consistent and reliable supply of high-quality water, which is fundamental for accurate and reproducible experimental results. Bidders are expected to provide detailed technical specifications of the proposed Milli-Q systems, including performance data, maintenance requirements, and warranty information. The successful supplier will be responsible for the delivery, installation, and potentially initial training on the operation and maintenance of the equipment.
This is a supplies contract in the Research, health and medical services and construction and civil works sectors, with a focus on Rehabilitation, Pharmaceuticals, Laboratory and Laboratories. Located in Portugal, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of EUR 6,530.
