Acquisition of an automated gas adsorption analysis instrument
About This Opportunity
TranslatedThis tender concerns the acquisition of an automated gas adsorption analysis instrument. The purpose of this acquisition is to equip a laboratory with advanced technology for characterizing porous materials. The instrument is expected to perform precise measurements of gas adsorption and desorption isotherms, providing crucial data for understanding material properties such as surface area, pore volume, and pore size distribution. Key functionalities likely include automated sample preparation, gas dosing, pressure and temperature control, and data acquisition and analysis. The specific type of gas adsorption to be analyzed (e.g., nitrogen, argon, hydrogen) and the required measurement range (e.g., physisorption, chemisorption) will be detailed in the technical specifications. This acquisition is vital for research and development activities in fields such as catalysis, energy storage (e.g., batteries, hydrogen storage), environmental science (e.g., carbon capture), and materials science. The successful bidder will be responsible for the supply, installation, commissioning, and potentially training on the operation of the instrument. Compliance with relevant international standards and provision of comprehensive technical support and warranty will be essential requirements. The tender aims to secure a high-performance, reliable, and user-friendly instrument to enhance the analytical capabilities of the procuring institution.
This is a supplies contract in the Research and general supplies sectors, with a focus on R&D equipment. Located in France, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.

Description
Auto-translated from FrenchThis tender, originating from France and published via the TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) platform, seeks the acquisition of an automated gas adsorption analysis instrument. The contracting authority, managed by the Publications Office of the European Union, is looking to procure advanced scientific equipment for its operational needs.
The procurement concerns a sophisticated analytical instrument designed to perform automated gas adsorption measurements. Such instruments are crucial for characterizing the porous structure of solid materials by measuring how much gas a material can adsorb and desorb under varying conditions of temperature and pressure. This data is vital for understanding material properties relevant to a wide range of applications, including catalysis, gas storage, separation technologies, and the development of new advanced materials.
Typical requirements for this type of tender would include specifications for the instrument's performance capabilities, such as the range of measurable surface areas, pore size distribution analysis, and the types of gases that can be used for analysis (e.g., nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, methane). Bidders will likely be expected to demonstrate the instrument's accuracy, reproducibility, and ease of operation. Furthermore, the tender will likely detail requirements for installation, commissioning, user training, and ongoing technical support and maintenance services. Compliance with relevant international standards for laboratory equipment and safety regulations will also be a key consideration.
