Quotation for the Supply and Delivery of a Bench-top CO₂ incubator for the University of Malta in Relation to the Project RECLAIM (REstoration and Conservation through the Limitation of Alien and Invasive Menace)

Original TED description

The University of Malta, as a partner in the RECLAIM project, requires the acquisition of a bench-top CO₂ incubator to support laboratory-based activities foreseen within the project. RECLAIM is focused on biodiversity restoration and the management of invasive alien species through integrated field monitoring, laboratory analysis, and impact assessment. The bench-top CO₂ incubator will be essential to provide controlled temperature, humidity, and CO₂ conditions required for environmental microbiology and cell-based assays, including laboratory validation and quality-control procedures linked to biodiversity health and freshwater ecosystem assessment. This laboratory capacity will allow the University of Malta to contribute effectively to the project objectives, particularly in supporting evidence-based restoration actions, biosecurity assessments, and the generation of reliable, standardised data to complement field-based monitoring activities.
