Supply of a pH Stat Potentiometric Auto Titrator

Tender description

The University of South Wales (USW) is a partner in a research and development project related to the production of low carbon end products from low value raw materials using a biorefinery approach. The project (Beacon, Project Ref. C80851) is funded by the Wales European Funding Office (WEFO) utilizing European Regional Development Funds (ERDF), and is led by Aberystwyth University. The University of South Wales wishes to procure an automated potentiometric pH titrator capable of supporting the titration modes as stated below, with an emphasis on the STAT mode for determining enzymatic activity (iv): i. DET (dynamic equivalence point titration) ii. MET (monotonic equivalence point titration) iii. SET (titration to one or two specified endpoints) iv. STAT (enzymatic and pH-STAT titrations) A specification for the required instrument is attached. The research does not require a high throughput of sample numbers. Responses are required from companies that can supply the full titration system including control and data processing software. Responses should include: • A detailed specification of the titration instrument • An indication of the track record of supplying quality laboratory instrumentation • An indication of the product support that is included or can be provided by the supplier / manufacturer, including instruction / training, possible future provision of spare parts and telephone support for maintenance and application problems. • Delivery time • A total cost for the supply of the instrument. Where options are available these MUST be clearly identified as optional items.
