Acquisition of spectroscopic equipment for the Department of Chemistry at University of Copenhagen

The Peptide Foundry at the Department of Chemistry intends to purchase a range of equipment for several kinds of spectroscopic analysis from Biolab to update the park of existing spectroscopic instruments to a modern standard with a unified software interface. The intended purchase consists of replacement of the instruments Jasco J-815 spectropolarimeter, Jasco FP-6300 spectrofluorometer, Jasco FP-6200 spectrofluorometer, Jasco V650 Bio spectrometer, and a refurbishment and software update of an existing Jasco P-2000 polarimeter. The updated park of spectroscopic instruments will form the spectroscopy infrastructure of the Peptide Foundry center that will service researchers from inside and outside of the university. A coherent software platform is required to allow ease of access for non-expert users to be trained efficiently and to allow a streamlined and unified software interface for both instrument control, analysis, manipulation and export. As the procured instruments will be part of a service facility their continued operation must be ensured for which reason a supplier with capacity for day-to-day service in Copenhagen is required.
