Technical Ressources
| In june 2012, an AFM Biocatalyst from Bruker, mounted on a Zeiss Axiovert inverted microscope, has been installed in our lab. This equipment has been fully purchased on the ERC StG grant. It is dedicated to the study of thin films, biopolymers and cells in liquid. Imaging and spectroscopy can be done. In july 2011, a Confocal microscope - ZEISS LSM 700 has been installed in our lab. This equipment has been purchased on the ERC StG grant. It is dedicated to the study of cell/material interfaces. |
Beside the equipment of our lab listed below, we have access to facilities located in various sites in Grenoble, including Albert Bonniot Institute on the Medical Campus, and to the following facilities of the MINATEC Campus :
- ESEM FEG Quanta 250 - (FEI) at the CMTC plateform in MINATEC :
- Biochemical preparation, Berthold microplate reader (luminescence), Microgrid robot... at the Biotech platform of the CIME Nanotech in MINATEC
