Focuses of research & scientific skills

  • Development of new concepts, tools and methods of analysis, characterization and modeling (experience and theory).
  • Understanding the ecodynamics of contaminants, microorganisms and tracers including their interface with the living.
  • Synthesis and development of materials, physico-chemical characterization, study of their reactivity, understanding of the relation between their structure and their properties at several scales.

Specific equipment, resources and techniques

The UPPA-Tech instrumental service center has 17 specialized trays of which 5 are backed by the IPREM:

  • POLYCaTS: Physical and chemical characterization of polymers applied as well to the synthesis of polymers as to their implementation and their properties.
  • Microbiological characterization: Identification, Sequencing, microbial culture (aerobic, anaerobic, extreme environment), provision of a microbial strain bank of interest.
  • Characterization of surfaces and interfaces: Definition of physical and chemical properties of solid and viscous samples by spectroscopic and imaging methods.
  • I3: Characterization of nano-objects, analysis of highly sensitive metals by laser ablation and imaging of very small scale chemical elements (cells)
  • ECOMES: Characterization of biomolecules and nano-objects in biological matrices, environmental and materials

Technology transfer center

  • UT2A: Physico-chemical analyzes
  • UT2A Training and advice: Training in physico-chemical analysis

Collaborations
