JC 10-26-1160 - Micro X-ray Fluorescence (µXRF) Microanalytical Mapping System

Description: McMaster University and the Canadian Centre for Electron Microscopy seek one laboratory micro X-ray fluorescence system for non-destructive elemental mapping, partly funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation. Requirements include selectable excitation energies, a spot size of 8 µm or less, high-vacuum operation and depth-selective analysis, plus installation, training, warranty and multi-year service support. This Advance Contract Award Notice proposes awarding the contract to Systems for Research Corp., while allowing other suppliers to submit statements demonstrating their capabilities before the closing deadline.
