LA3329C - UCD - CFT for the Supply, Delivery, Installation and Commissioning of an Infrared-based Chemical Imaging System enabling Microscopic Resolution
Tenders are sought for the Supply, Delivery, Installation and Commissioning of an Infrared based chemical imaging system enabling microscopic resolution. Microplastic contamination has emerged as a critical concern for human health. The proposed infrared-based chemical imaging system, which offers high-resolution microscopic capabilities, will significantly enhance the throughput and accuracy of microplastic detection and quantification. By enabling rapid, non-destructive, and spatially resolved chemical characterization of particles, this advanced analytical platform will support robust and scalable monitoring strategies. Beyond microplastic research, this system has broad applicability across multiple disciplines. In environmental science, it can be used to characterize complex particulate matter, including nanoplastics, organic residues, and mineral articles. In food safety, it enables the detection of contaminants, additives, and packaging-derived residues in processed foods. In biomedical and pharmaceutical research, it allows for label-free tissue imaging, drug distribution analysis, and biomaterial characterization.
