Balard Chemistry Analysis and Characterization Platform (PAC Chimie Balard)
The UAR PAC Chimie Balard Montpellier offers a unique set of equipment for the analysis and physicochemical characterization of materials and biomolecules (analysis of solutions, solids, surfaces, determination of structural, textural, and thermodynamic properties). The PAC Montpellier aims to address multidisciplinary analytical issues, mainly in the fields of chemistry and at the interfaces between biology and health, agronomy and ecology, and materials and the environment.
The Analysis and Characterization Platform offers exceptional measurement capabilities in X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, NMR spectroscopy, IR-Raman spectroscopy, Mössbauer spectrometry, SQUID magnetometry, RPE spectroscopy, XPS, mass spectrometry, textural and granulometric analysis, chemical analysis (elemental analysis, AAS, ICP-MS, X-ray fluorescence), calorimetric and thermal analysis, and dielectric spectroscopy.
The various services are organized around centers of expertise based on technical staff dedicated to these devices, in constant contact with researchers and Professors in the field.
The Balard Chemistry Cluster's Analysis and Characterization Platform is open to the entire academic scientific community and the industrial world (large groups, SMEs, startups). Access to services is provided in the form of services, collaborations, or partnerships, including:
- the provision of analytical services by PAC staff,
- research and development projects,
- methodological and instrumental developments,
- theoretical and practical training.
