Sustainable Environment Equipments

The Sustainable Environment team has a unique range of analytical tools and environmental exposure devices such as the Elemental chemistry (LA-ICP-MS)platform, the2D and 3D X-ray imaging (MATRIX)laboratory, the Characterisation of Colloidslaboratory, the Soil Preparation and Analysis and the Centre for Innovation and Research in Environment and Eco-technologies (CIRENE).

The team also uses modelling tools, in particular for the study of soil evolution under stress, and has tools for taking samples (soil, plants, water) during field campaigns.

The team also regularly relies on national and international synchrotrons.

Our 5 laboratories and platforms are associated with 4 technical divisions of CEREGE: Geochemistry division, Imaging division, Sample preparation division and Eco-technologies division.

Elemental chemistry (LA-ICP-MS)

The LA-ICP-MS Elemental Chemistry platform carries out elemental chemical analysis in solution of 90% elements from the periodic table, and can also be used to produce semi-quantitative elemental maps.

2D and 3D X-ray imaging (MATRIX)

MatriX is a platform for characterising and imaging all types of objects using non-destructive X-ray techniques (X-ray micro-diffraction, X-ray micro-fluorescence, X-ray micro- and nano-tomography).

Characterisation of Colloids

The Colloid Characterisation laboratory brings together tools for characterising the state of aggregation, surface charge and shape of suspended (nano)particles.

Soil Preparation & Analysis

The Soil Preparation & Analysis laboratory brings together a range of tools for the physical and chemical preparation of soil samples.

Innovation and Research in Environment and Eco-technologies (CIRENE)

The Centre for Innovation and Research in Environment and Ecotechnologies (CIRENE) includes aquatic and terrestrial mesocosms, ageing chambers, water treatment pilots and instrumental developments.
