A Romanian public research institute has published a procurement notice on the European Union’s Tenders Electronic Daily for laboratory detection and analysis equipment, with the contract split into three separate lots. The notice, dated 21 September 2026, is classified under education and covers a sample mineralizer, an autosampler for gas chromatography, and a spectrophotometer. The buyer is the National Institute for Research and Development of Isotopic and Molecular Technologies, based in Romania.

The notice is registered on the EU’s official supplement as publication number 646743-2026. It is a standard contract notice, meaning it is a public call for tenders rather than a prior information or contract award notice. The classification as education-related procurement reflects the research and teaching context of the equipment purchase.

Lot 1 covers a sample mineralizer, used to prepare samples for analysis. Lot 2 is an autosampler for a gas chromatograph, a device that automates the injection of samples into the chromatograph. Lot 3 is a spectrophotometer, which measures how much light a substance absorbs or transmits. The three instruments are common components in chemical and molecular research laboratories.

The tender is published on Tenders Electronic Daily, the online version of the Supplement to the Official Journal of the EU, where public contracts above certain thresholds must be advertised. The notice is a primary source record of the procurement process and does not include details on estimated value, bidding deadlines, or evaluation criteria, which are typically available in the full tender documents.
