Tribute : Allen Joseph Bard, the pioneer and father of electrochemistry
Allen Joseph Bard, the pioneer and father of electrochemistry, passed away on February 11, 2024 in Austin, Texas. He was 90 years old and had a 63-year career at The University of Texas at Austin. For most of his students, postdoc and co-workers, he was the greatest electrochemist of several generations. He will be highly...
New NMR methods for the analysis of mixtures.
Researchers from the CEISAM lab have developed a new NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectoscopy method that provides increased sensitivity, speed and signal dispersion. See the full information (in French) on the CNRS Chimie website.
The CEISAM laboratory turns to green analytical chemistry
The MIMM team of the Laboratory has just designed an innovative method for isotope analysis at natural abundance, based on NMR (1).For the first time, this approach is evaluated according to the criteria of green analytical chemistry. The method developed by scientists from the MIMM team consists of using the 2D HSQC NMR sequence, modified...
Our research teams
This Institute is organized into five research teams covering coherent areas of activity but which are based on different and highly complementary segments, giving rise to original transversal projects.
On the basis of fundamental and specific expertise, CEISAM is positioned in a certain number of niches of excellence at the interface with the fields of Health, Food chemistry and Materials, through privileged interactions at regional, national and international levels.
Platforms and equipment
To support our research activities, the CEISAM Institute owns many specialist equipments.
These instruments and equipment chains, sometimes intégrated into platforms, aim to synthesize, model, prepare and characterize organic or hybrid items. The European Union, the CNRS and the "Pays de la Loire" region have largely contributed to co-financing these platforms and equipments in particular in NMR, Mass Spectrometry, Molecular Modeling, Optical spectroscopies and microscopy.
