Procurement and maintenance of MA-XRF scanner for the NFI
The National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) has a requirement within the NFI (CFS) department for a new MA-XRF scanner. The current instrument has been depreciated, is less reliable, and is being increasingly deployed in (criminal) investigations. The new scanner must operate faster, with higher resolution, and with a new generation of X-ray optics and detectors, thereby increasing the research capacity and availability of the technology. This supports both criminal investigations and R&D within the RIVM. The tender concerns an open, public procedure for the delivery of a fully operational system including installation, training, and maintenance.

Within the NFI (CFS department), a need has arisen for a new MA-XRF scanner to supplement the current MA-XRF instrument. The current instrument has been depreciated and is becoming less reliable, while the frequency with which the instrument is deployed in (criminal) investigations is increasing. The new system is required to increase the research capacity and the availability of this technology. This will allow more criminal investigations and R&D to be conducted. The new MA-XRF scanner will be able to perform measurements faster and with a higher resolution due to a new generation of X-ray o
