(NU/1860) Supply of a Temporal-Resolved FTIR Spectrometer

Tender description

The North East transient spectroscopy and microscopy facility is a uniquely comprehensive national facility, established to fulfil a strategically and critically important research infrastructure gap in the region. The facility aligns with the institutional strategy that includes the establishment of Centres for Research Excellence in Energy, Data and Cancer and the establishment of NU Academic Track Fellowships, several of whom will benefit from this facility. Time-resolved spectroscopy and spectroelectrochemistry enables scientists to probe the identity, formation and fate of short-lived, energetic species formed on excitation with light (e.g. from a laser) or an applied potential. It permits kinetic analysis on a range of molecular, biological, and functional material systems to provide critical mechanistic information on light-induced reaction pathways. The scope of this contract is for the supply, delivery and installation of the equipment detailed in the ITT document, to the University, with after-sales support and 24 months warranty and maintenance.
