Miniaturisation for Synthesis, Analysis and Proteomics (MSAP)

Research unit - USR 3290

Description

MSAP is a service and research unit that is at the interface of chemistry and biology. We are well recognized internationally for our instrumental and analytical developments related to mass spectrometry and we have built a solid reputation in the field of art analysis or identification of biological macromolecules. In chemistry, the originality of our unit is based on flow synthesis (from milli- to nano-fluidic) with developments in photochemistry or nanoparticle synthesis. MSAP also includes a mass spectrometry platform as well as a proteomics platform, and benefits from access to state-of-the-art equipment. We are open to all academic and industrial collaborations and propose services in line with our expertise.
