Tenderlake provides easy access to public sector tenders of scientific instruments, including laboratory and precision instruments in Belgium.

Uniquely, Tenderlake provides access to all tenders in English as well as the original language, making it easy triage all tenders of possible relevance.

Specific instruments being procured on an ongoing basis includes:

Scientific instruments procured via public tender often encompass a wide range of devices and tools used across various research and laboratory settings. These tenders are usually floated to ensure transparency, competitiveness, and to procure high-quality instruments at a reasonable cost. 

Here are some of the specific instruments that might be procured under the heading of Scientific Instruments, including laboratory and precision instruments:

Microscopes: These are essential for biological, medical, and materials science research. Types include optical microscopes, electron microscopes, and scanning probe microscopes.

Spectrometers: Used to analyse the properties of light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation, which is essential in chemical analysis. Types include mass spectrometers, infrared spectrometers, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers.

Centrifuges: Devices used to separate fluids, gas, or liquid, based on density. They are essential in clinical labs and for various research purposes.

Chromatographs: Including Gas Chromatography (GC) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) systems, these are used for separating and analysing compounds that can be vaporised without decomposition.

Thermal Cyclers (PCR machines): Critical for molecular biology research, these machines are used to amplify segments of DNA via the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

Autoclaves and Sterilisers: Used for sterilising equipment and supplies by subjecting them to high-pressure saturated steam.

Laboratory Balances: Precision instruments used to measure the mass of materials and samples with high accuracy.

Electrophoresis Equipment: Used for analysing macromolecules (DNA, RNA, and proteins) based on their size and charge.

Incubators and Ovens: Used to grow and maintain microbiological cultures or cell cultures and often used for the controlled heating of samples.

pH Meters and Conductivity Meters: For measuring the acidity/alkalinity and the electrical conductivity in a solution, respectively.

Refrigeration and Freezing Equipment: Including ultra-low temperature freezers, cryogenic storage systems, and refrigerators specifically designed for laboratory use.

Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS): Software solutions designed to streamline laboratory operations, data tracking, and compliance.

Analytical and Topographical Instruments: Such as Atomic Force Microscopes (AFMs) and Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEMs) for detailed surface analysis.
