The University
awarded
a contract for
an X-Ray Diffractometer DHS 1100 furnace upgrade
to
Bruker AXS, Inc., Madison, WI
for
$32,500.
The NIU Department of Physics requires a furnace upgrade for x-ray diffraction studies of materials at temperatures up to 1000 C.
This purchase is only economically available from a single source because the
compatibility of equipment, accessories, replacement parts, or service is a paramount consideration.
The items desired are designed specifically by the same manufacturer for compatibility with the existing X-Ray Diffractometer.
