What is being bought

Published requirement description

The NOC requires the provision of a UIC CM5018O Coulometer. The specified model is the only compatible option with the MARIANDA VINDTA 3C system used for our carbon analysis work. A market review identified no commercially available alternatives; the only other potential supplier offers prototypes not available for purchase, and no other product is compatible with the VINDTA 3C. Any non-UIC option would require significant modification with no assurance of performance and increased risk and cost. The UIC coulometer ensures reliable operation with both our existing legacy systems and current VINDTA models, maintaining continuity and reducing downtime risk.
