Even if an alternative solution is proposed, it shall not be binding for us, and tenders will be evaluated only after the submission deadline. It is up to the tenderer to respond to the requirement and offer a solution that meets the requirement and the need. Whether and how the requirement is fulfilled will be assessed only after the submission of tenders.
Our assessment is that an X-ray diffractometer with a geometry featuring a vertical goniometer stand and a central, horizontal sample holder is essential for various types of unstable geological samples, including but not limited to wet samples, loose powders, and moist and unstable clay samples. The instrument should have a vertical rotational system around the horizontal sample holder, allowing for easy switching between the geometries of X-ray tube – sample holder – detector, particularly between theta-theta and theta-2-theta, over an essentially 360-degree range. This is to enable variable modes of analysis with particular focus on the aforementioned unstable sample types.
