High-Performance Chemical Analysis and Imaging Platform (HPCAIP)
The High-Performance Chemical Analysis and Imaging Platform (HPCAIP) is specialized in elemental and molecular analysis and imaging on a large variety of surfaces including biological tissue and cells.
The XPS on the platform could provide quantitative information on the elemental composition (0.1 atomic %), oxidation state and chemical bonding.
The TOF-SIMS is capable of parallel elemental and molecular imaging with high spatial resolution (>100 nm). The HPCAIP aims to support users from experimental design, data acquisition, data analysis/interpretation to presentation and publication.
The platform is located within the Faculty of Science, building Ancienne Ecole de Medecine.
