Aarhus Universitet

Aarhus University seeks a contractor to carry out a large-scale airborne geophysical survey of the Rift Valley Basin in Ethiopia in early 2026, using a helicopter-based slung-load transient electromagnetic (TEM) system and magnetic instruments to map shallow and deep hydrogeological structures. Conducted in close partnership with the Ministry of Water and Energy of Ethiopia and Addis Ababa University, the survey aims to improve understanding of the Basin’s hydrogeological settings under different geological and environmental conditions. The contractor must collect high-resolution TEM and magnetic data, capable of imaging layers as thin as 3 meters near the surface and achieving penetration depths of up to 500 meters, while meeting strict technical, calibration, safety, and data-delivery requirements. The project includes joint flight-line planning, rigorous system testing and documentation, and delivery of data ready for processing in Aarhus Workbench, all within a maximum budget of 5,000,000 DKK.

The contracting authority must procure an electrodynamic biaxial (axial–torsion) test system that, for strictly technical and research critical reasons, must cumulatively provide: exact 12 kN dynamic force; ±120 Nm torsion at 12 kN; ≥ 70 mm dynamic stroke; ±135° and ±500 rev at 0.001–100 rpm; independent two axis control with advanced auto tuning; a large test space (~985 mm/460 mm); environmental chamber; and ≤ 78 dB(A) in operation on the existing concrete floor near sensitive nano scale instruments. These requirements are objective, proportionate and necessary and do not artificially restrict competition. A structured market screening and direct technical enquiries confirm that only MTS Systems’ Acumen 12 offers a single integrated platform meeting all cumulative requirements; competing systems are ≤ 10 kN, 15 kN or ≥ 20 kN (i.e. not exactly 12 kN) and/or cannot document the required combined force–torque–stroke, angular/speed ranges or noise limit. No reasonable alternative or substitute exists. Accordingly, the negotiated procedure without prior publication is used for technical reasons under Section 80(3); the conditions in Section 80(4) (no reasonable alternative; no artificial restriction of competition) are fulfilled.

The proposed purchase comprises a Laser Microdissection (LMD7) system integrated with THUNDER 3D fluorescence imaging

One state-of-the art liquid state 500 MHz NMR spectrometer for use in organic chemistry, including characterization of synthesized organic compounds, synthesized coordination complexes, analysis of organic materials in environmental science, food science, and biochemistry. The spectrometer shall support high‑throughput operation across multiple research groups and provide possibility for variable‑temperature analysis over at least −100 °C to +150 °C with the ability to extend toward −150 °C without probe exchange or loss of routine automation to enable studies of highly reactive intermediates, such as radicals. The spectrometer shall have a BB tuning range covering 19F, 31P-109Ag (possibly with a small gap around the 2H lock signal). To sustain throughput and data quality, the system must enable automation that monitors and, when required, adjusts ¹H/¹³C pulse calibrations, three‑dimensional shims, variable‑temperature flow and heater settings, and qNMR consistency checks. In routine use, the instrument must be able to automatically select, parameterize, and execute the most appropriate small‑molecule NMR experiments to consistent specifications. Automation is particularly important for technical aspects of the measurement setup, such as shimming, 2H locking with deuterated solvents, variable temperature control, and sample exchange. These settings must also be accessible to advanced users who may wish for specific settings, such as shimming. As a workhorse the instrument must automatically change samples and output datafiles for analysis in external software, such as MestreNova. Automatic peak integration and plotting must also be possible directly in the instrument software package.

The purchase concerns a Stellaris WILL NIR Pulse Picker microscope with FALCON (FAst Lifetime CONtrast.

The instrument is intended as a screening platform for protein design and an instrument for protein characterization more broadly. To work in protein design context, it needs to work in a crudely purified (ideally unpurified) context and with minimal samples typically less than 1 g. This requires measurement at 640nm and built-in-in viscosity compensation. Additionally, it needs to work without extrinsic labelling requiring measurement at 280 nm. Measurement at 480 nm is required compatibility with a range of other instruments in our lab. The FIDA instrument is uniquely able to fulfill the above requirement and there are currently no other techniques combining all these features into a single instrument.
