Physics and analysis

Cross-cutting laboratory positioned as an R&I project partner. Its advanced expertise and analytical equipment are deployed in the fields of matter (gases, liquids and solids) characterization, energy and recycling, via 3 activities:

the development of innovative methodologies and analytical methods
the performance of multi-scale studies
the performance of analyses using standardized methods or methods developed in-house.

A a member of standard-setting bodies, the laboratory also contributes to the standardization of methods at national and international level.
