# X-ray CT system for rock and soil sample analysis

ETH Zurich’s Chair of Underground Construction at the Institute for Geotechnical Engineering is procuring an X-ray CT system. The equipment will be used for non-destructive in-situ characterisation of heterogeneous rock and soil samples, concrete cores and other porous materials in several phases. Offers are due by 25 November 2026 at 12:00 CET. Consortiums and subcontractors are permitted if one supplier assumes overall responsibility and serves as the sole contractual partner. The notice gives no contract value or detailed evaluation weighting; system specifications are in the procurement documents. Any consortium or subcontracting arrangement must have one supplier take overall responsibility and serve as the sole contractual partner.

# Scanning electron microscope for quantitative analysis of geological samples

ETH Zürich is seeking a replacement analytical scanning electron microscope for its Institute of Geochemistry and Petrology. The instrument must support quantitative EDS with reference materials and full matrix correction, include a field emission gun and SE/BSE detectors, and accommodate at least three petrographic thin sections and six one-inch epoxy mounts. Automated quantitative runs longer than 24 hours are required; a cathodoluminescence detector is optional. Delivery has strict lift, floor-loading and crate-size limits. This open, single-lot supply tender accepts electronic bids through Simap. The deadline was extended to 11 November 2026 at 12:00 CET. Detailed specifications and evaluation criteria are in documents that were not accessed.

Zudem soll das System programmierbar sein, um automatisierte quantitative EDS-Analysereihen mit einer Laufzeit von mehr als 24 Stunden zu ermöglichen. Details siehe Pflichtenheft.\n\nAusführungsort und Anlieferung:\nDas Institut für Geochemie und Petrologie der ETH Zürich beabsichtigt, sein bestehendes analytisches Rasterelektronenmikroskop (REM) durch ein neues System zu ersetzen. Dieses soll mit einer Feldemissionsquelle, SE- und leistungsstarken BSE-Detektoren sowie einem hochmodernen energiedispersiven Röntgenspektrometer (EDS) mit grossem Detektorbereich (≥ 100 mm²) ausgestattet sein. Wir sind zudem an Angeboten für einen panchromatischen und/oder einen monochromatischen Kathodolumineszenz-Detektor (Einstiegsmodell) interessiert.
