Core Insights - The article discusses the recent procurement intentions announced by the Chinese Tropical Agricultural Academy, which includes 19 items of laboratory equipment with a total budget of 97.48 million yuan [2][3]. Procurement Overview - The procurement involves various advanced instruments such as ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, CO₂ incubators, and Fourier transform infrared microscopes, with the expected procurement period set for March to October 2025 [3][4]. Instrument Descriptions - **CO₂ Incubator**: This device simulates the in vivo environment for cell growth, maintaining stable temperature, CO₂ concentration, and humidity, significantly improving cell culture success rates from approximately 50% to over 90% [4]. - **Fourier Transform Infrared Microscope**: This instrument combines FTIR technology with microscopy, allowing for in situ, non-destructive infrared spectral analysis of micro-regions of samples, particularly useful for small or precious samples [5][6]. Detailed Procurement List - The procurement plan includes a total of 31 pieces of equipment, such as ultra-low temperature storage boxes, seed low-temperature storage cabinets, and various automated analysis systems, with specific requirements for domestic and imported equipment delivery times [8][9]. Research and Development Focus - The Chinese Tropical Agricultural Academy aims to enhance its research capabilities in tropical agriculture, focusing on areas such as pesticide residue metabolism, plant phenotyping, and genetic analysis, which are critical for agricultural innovation and sustainability [10][11][12]. Institutional Background - The Chinese Tropical Agricultural Academy, established in 1954, plays a vital role in tropical agricultural research and development, supporting national strategic needs and contributing to rural revitalization efforts in tropical regions [13][14].
