Justification

gem. Art. 21, Abs. 2, Bst. c und e BöB Es wurde eine umfassende Analyse des aktuellen Marktes durchgeführt. Bluefors bietet eine einzigartige Kombination aus Kompatibilität, Zuverlässigkeit und Integrationseffizienz, die unter unseren derzeitigen Betriebsbedingungen kein anderer Anbieter bieten kann. Unsere gesamte hauseigene Versuchshardware (z. B. Probenhalter, Mikrowellenverkabelung, Kühlstufenbaugruppen, mechanische Halterungen und vibrationsdämpfende Strukturen) wurde speziell für die Bluefors-XLD-Architektur entwickelt. Unser technisches Personal ist für die Wartung und Diagnose von XLD-Systemen geschult, wodurch Risiken und Ausfallzeiten während des Betriebs minimiert werden. Das XLD1000sl-System bietet eine garantierte Basistemperatur von 30 µW bei 20 mK und einen Durchmesser des Experimentierflansches von 500 mm, wodurch die Anforderungen unseres Projekts vollständig erfüllt oder sogar übertroffen werden.
