Description of the contract
The College of Engineering at Swansea University wishes to purchase a thermal stage for our Bruker D8 Discover XRD equipment to support the multi-disciplinary research and teaching.
This document sets out the requirements for the instrument to allow the characterisation of alloys and ceramics at a variety of temperatures. The system provided must have full compatibility with the Bruker D8 Discover with Centric Eulerian Cradle and be deliverable in the timeframe.
List of requirements for this tender:
• The equipment must be capable of fitting on the Eurlian Cradle of our Bruker D8 Discover, and must be suitable for reflective XRD.
• The holder mounted to the Eurlian Cradle and sample contained must be below 500g so as not to overweigh the cradle.
• Stage must be capable of continuous operating temperatures of 1100oC for bulk samples
• Temperature control units shall be capable of running temperature ramps and isotherms.
• The equipment shall be capable of providing an inert atmosphere, i.e. Argon, with all the necessary fittings to achieve this.
• The equipment should have vacuum and controlled atmosphere capabilities
• Full detail of the preferred payment plan/payment stages should be supplied if other than full payment on delivery
• The ability to deliver within 3 months.
