Institute of Analytical Sciences
Located within the, the Institute of Analytical Sciences is a French research, training and expertise center specializing in analytical chemistry. It is a Joint Research Unit affiliated with the National Centre for Scientific Research, Claude Bernard University Lyon 1, and École normale supérieure de Lyon.
Research
The Institute brings together over 200 technical and scientific staff with a panel of expertise ranging from theoretical chemistry to physics, through modeling, biochemistry, and analytical chemistry. The ISA also has a tip and global instrumentation equipment: NMR spectrometer, hosted by the «Very High Fields NMR European Center».The Institute organized its research activities in five areas:
- mass spectrometry
- modeling and applied analysis
- NMR spectroscopy
- separative sciences and surfaces
- (bio)Interfaces, micro / nanosystems.
Partnerships
Its activities are focused on both fundamental objectives in analytical sciences and interactions with the socio-economic environment at local, national and international levels. The Institute has partnerships with international research centers and national academic partners and industrial partners and manufacturers.The institute is involved in competitiveness clusters and regional cluster. Some scientists are experts in standardization committees at national and European levels. In addition, the Institute of Analytical Sciences plays a «Business incubator» role and hosts start-ups: ANAQUANT, metabolomics technical platform, etc.
