Backfilling - Atmospheric Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer (NAP-XPS)
About This Opportunity
TranslatedThis tender concerns the supply of an Atmospheric Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer (NAP-XPS) system. The primary function of this advanced scientific instrument is to enable surface analysis and chemical state characterization of materials under ambient or near-ambient pressure conditions. This capability is crucial for studying a wide range of materials, including catalysts, battery materials, and biological samples, without the need for ultra-high vacuum preparation, which can alter the native state of the sample. The system will likely include the spectrometer itself, an X-ray source, sample handling and transfer mechanisms, and associated control and data acquisition software. Key requirements may involve specific energy resolution, elemental sensitivity, spatial resolution, and the ability to operate with various gas environments. The tender falls under the CPV code for Spectrometers and is classified as a supply contract. Further details regarding the specific technical specifications, delivery timelines, and evaluation criteria will be provided in the full tender documentation. This procurement is expected to support research and development activities within a scientific institution or research facility, enhancing their capabilities in advanced materials characterization.
This is a supplies contract in the Research and general supplies sectors, with a focus on Research Institutions. Located in Austria, Europe, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.

Description
Original language: GermanThis tender, published on the TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) platform under notice number 139182-2026, seeks the supply of a state-of-the-art Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer (NAP-XPS) for use in Austria. The procurement falls under the category of Supplies, specifically for Spectrometers as per the Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) code.
The contracting authority is procuring this specialized scientific instrument to enhance its research capabilities. NAP-XPS technology allows for the analysis of material surfaces under near-ambient pressure conditions, which is crucial for studying a wide range of phenomena that occur in real-world environments, such as catalysis, corrosion, and biological interactions. This capability distinguishes it from traditional ultra-high vacuum (UHV) XPS systems.
Suppliers are expected to provide a complete NAP-XPS system, including the X-ray source, electron energy analyzer, sample manipulation and introduction systems, and the necessary vacuum and gas handling components to achieve and maintain ambient pressure conditions. Essential ancillary equipment, such as a suitable computer for system control and data acquisition, as well as comprehensive software for instrument operation and data processing, will also be required. Bidders should detail their proposed system’s specifications, including energy resolution, spot size, pressure range, and elemental sensitivity. Furthermore, proposals should include comprehensive warranty, installation, training, and after-sales support services. Experience in delivering and supporting similar advanced analytical instrumentation will be a key consideration.
