Analyses

A complete analytical services platform

Our team of expert geologists, supported by a global network of specialists, is ready to tackle your most challenging requests. With a fully equipped analytical platform, we offer comprehensive studies utilizing optical and electronic microscopy (SEM), cathodoluminescence, X-ray diffraction, and XRF spectrometry. And through our trusted partners, we can provide an extended range of advanced analyses—including chemical analysis, LIBS, and isotopic dating—to help you solve even the most complex technical and scientific challenges.

Petrographic study

Our petrographic analysis platform is equipped to conduct in-depth studies of your geological samples. Specifically designed for the analysis of rocks, minerals, and materials, it provides precise data on the composition, structure, and properties of samples using advanced techniques such as optical microscopy, cathodoluminescence, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). With the expertise of our petrographers and the power of our equipment, we offer detailed analyses that meet the needs of industrial, environmental, and academic sectors. We provide the following services:

XRD analyses

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a cutting-edge analytical method that allows for the precise identification and characterization of crystalline minerals and materials present in your powder samples. With its ability to provide detailed data on the crystalline structure, composition, and organization of samples, XRD is an essential tool for the fields of geology, materials science, and environmental sciences. Within our laboratory, we offer analyses on whole rock as well as clay fractions, ensuring reliable results tailored to your specific needs.

High-Precision Geochemical Analyses

(In collaboration with SARM Nancy)

Trust us with the geochemical characterization of your samples for reliable and detailed results. In collaboration with SARM Nancy, we offer cutting-edge services:

• Elemental composition analysis: Accurately measure major and trace elements using ICP spectrometry (Inductively Coupled Plasma) or soon with our XRF spectrometry, employing fusion beads and compacted powder discs for even more reliable results.
• Isotopic characterization: Obtain isotopic data for key elements such as Pd, Nd, and Sr, allowing you to deepen your analysis and answer complex scientific questions.

With our advanced technologies and the expertise of SARM Nancy, we guarantee geochemical analyses that meet your highest expectations
