Automatic Multitube Well Counter

Collège Ahuntsic is seeking to procure an automatic multitube well counter through a negotiated contract (Contrat de gré à gré). This procurement falls under the category of Scientific Instruments and Counters (G27). The rationale for using a negotiated contract is that the contract value is below the public tender threshold, as per Article 14. A multitube well counter is a scientific instrument used for measuring radioactivity in biological and chemical samples, particularly in research settings. It is designed to count samples placed in multiple wells simultaneously, increasing efficiency. This type of equipment is essential for laboratories conducting research in fields such as molecular biology, biochemistry, and environmental science, which are likely areas of focus for Collège Ahuntsic's academic or research programs. The specific technical requirements for the multitube well counter, including the number of tubes, sensitivity, detection limits, and compatibility with various sample types, will be detailed in the tender documents. The negotiated contract process suggests a specific need or a limited number of suppliers capable of meeting the college's requirements. The objective is to acquire reliable and efficient instrumentation to support scientific research and education at the institution.

This is a supplies contract in the Research and information and communication technology sectors, with a focus on Research Institutions and Hardware. Located in Canada, North America, this opportunity is open to firms and consortiums.
