Analysis for Tracing, Origin, Metabolism by Isotope and Couplings (ATOMIC)

Discover our team

In collaboration with

“A team open to your analytical challenges”

 

Our team develops innovative analytical and instrumental approaches dedicated to quantitative and isotopic analysis (H, C, N, O) as well as the characterization of organic compounds. We have a unique instrumental platform in France, combining rare expertise in isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) and cutting-edge high-resolution technologies such as Iso-Orbitrap.

 

Our multidisciplinary research ranges from medicine to the environment, including the authentication of natural products. By designing advanced couplings and analytical tools, we respond to current challenges related to the origin and dynamics of molecules in biological, environmental, and industrial systems.
