Tender description
United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) wishes to procure an inert atmosphere (argon) glove box system to facilitate safe and chemically stable storage and handling of atmosphere sensitive lithium-containing materials. These materials will be predominantly lithium-containing oxide ceramics. The primary purpose of this inert atmosphere glove box system is to enable long-term storage and handling of lithium-containing oxide ceramic samples, and preparation thereof for various testing and analysis at UKAEA in an environment in which these materials remain chemically stable (i.e. controlled, moisture-free, inert atmosphere) for long periods time (i.e. years).
