A new console for isotopomic NMR
In the context of a collaboration between RS2D and Professor Serge Akoka’s group, new electronics have been installed on one of the 400 MHz spectrometers of the CEISAM NMR platform. This equipment (a Quad-C4 console), equipped with a 19F lock, will be dedicated to methodological developments in high precision quantitative NMR and in particular to...
The CEISAM NMR platform obtains the ISO 9001 certification
Following an evaluation process conducted by AFNOR, the CEISAM NMR platform has obtained the ISO 9001 certification for its activity in the “Development and services in the field of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance”. This certification marks a commitment towards a continuous improvement approach in the service of its users. It is a recognition of the involvement...
Serge Akoka, professor at CEISAM, publishes a book on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).
“An introduction to NMR” is intended for scientific students (bachelor or master, Chemistry and Biology in particular), but also for medical and pharmacy students as well as non-specialist researchers. The content includes a phenomenological approach to the principles and various applications of NMR. The book includes many illustrations and analogies; the equations are there but...

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.
