Size Exclusion Chromatography system (SEC)

Tampere University Foundation sr is inviting tenders, procurement is 'Size Exclusion Chromatography system', hereinafter 'SEC'.

The Chemistry and Advanced Materials subunit (Tampere University, Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences) is acquiring a Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) system for polymer characterization in organic solvents. The system will be used to analyze linear and branched synthetic polymers, including but not limited to polyamides, polyesters, and polyacrylates, with molecular weights ranging between 100–1,000,000 g/mol. The properties of interest include the absolute molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, molecular architecture, and UV-Vis absorbance of the polymers. Refractive index, light scattering, viscosity, and UV-Vis detectors are listed below as mandatory requirements. Modular tunability of the setup and compatibility with additional detectors to allow future upgrades will be considered beneficial features in the grading. * * * * PRICING Contracting authority's expectation for pricing: 100 000 € - 110 000 € (excl. VAT), covering all mandatory requirements.
