Supply of the MIFE system has been undertaken by the University's commercial arm, Unitas Consulting Ltd. The University has relocated Unitas' functions. Future MIFE sales will be the responsibility of the Faculty of Science and technology.

The MIFE system together with the software is supplied as a unit. For accounting purposes the hardware and software components may be identified as shown.

The MIFE/CHART/MIFEFLUX System: A$14,000

MIFE electronics component: $9000

CHART and MIFEFLUX software component: $5000

Those optional items which we are able to supply, but which purchasers may obtain more cheaply themselves or which may not be needed for particular applications, are the following:-

DAS08 data acquisition card for PC: $1100

4-electrode mount: $6000

Three stepper motors and drives for hydraulic manipulator: $5500

Many other things are needed for setting up a MIFE laboratory to measure ion fluxes. We have provided an outline of these requirements with estimates of costs and sources of supply.

The MIFE system is manufactured by the University of Tasmania School of Mathematics and Physics. Profits from its sale will be used for Biophysics and other research in the School.
