Supplies
two.1.4) Short description
The University of Exeter is looking for a supplier(s) to provide a Raman microscope and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy microscope for a project being delivered by the Camborne School of Mines at the University’s Penryn campus in Cornwall.
This project is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

two.2.4) Description of the procurement
This instrument measures the “Raman shift” which is essentially the chemical bonding within a solid sample. It can be used to map and understand the chemistry of rock, sediments and soils. For example, it can measure surface passivation, such as sulphur build-up, or amorphous phases, which other complementary techniques, such as XRD or SEM are not typically suited for. It is used for a wide range of materials science and geological applications.

two.2.4) Description of the procurement
This instrument measures the infrared absorption of a solid material and is useful for determining the concentrations of covalently-bonded species in a mineral, such as water and CO2, which are especially challenging to analyse by other means. Analyses can be undertaken on a bulk powder or on an in-situ spatially-resolved spot using the associated attenuated total reflection (ATR) add-in.
