Acquisition of Automatic Ultramicrotome
About This Opportunity
TranslatedThis tender concerns the acquisition of an 'Automatic Ultramicrotome'. An ultramicrotome is a specialized instrument used in microscopy, particularly in transmission electron microscopy (TEM), to cut extremely thin slices of material (typically biological samples) for examination. The 'automatic' feature indicates a high-precision instrument capable of performing sectioning with minimal manual intervention, ensuring consistent thinness and quality of the samples. This type of equipment is essential for scientific research, medical diagnostics, and materials science, where detailed ultrastructural analysis is required. The contracting authority is likely a research institution, university, hospital, or a laboratory that requires advanced sample preparation capabilities. The tender will specify the technical requirements, performance standards, features (e.g., section thickness range, trimming capabilities, user interface), and potentially installation and training services. The acquisition of an automatic ultramicrotome represents a significant investment in scientific infrastructure, enabling researchers to conduct cutting-edge studies and obtain high-resolution imaging data. This procurement is vital for advancing scientific knowledge and diagnostic capabilities.
This is a supplies contract in the health and medical services, Research and education and training sectors. Located in Portugal, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums, with an estimated budget of EUR 163,125.
