Microfluidics

This laboratory is dedicated to the understanding and quantification of physicochemical phenomena on a very small scale for the fields of renewable energies (geothermal energy, biofuel, biomass, etc.) and the environment (CO₂ capture and storage, water and soil pollution remediation, etc.).

The laboratory is equipped with dedicated experimental resources enabling the implementation of high-throughput experimentation in high-pressure and high-temperature (HP-HT) conditions in custom-designed microfluidic chips.
