SoMaC & CoMic is a platform that offers services and equipments dedicated to the characterization of soft matter and complex physical-biological interfaces. The devices and techniques are varied: rheology (Anton Paar), surface and interfacial tension measurements (Tracker, Kibron), surface characterization: ellispometry (EP3), profilometry (Taylor-Hobson), size measurement: zetametry (Beckman Coultar), physico-chemical analyses: UV-Vis, IR and confocal microscopy (@CoMic).
The SoMaC&CoMic platform is a tool with several missions:
- to bring together commercial or original (home-made) experimental characterisation techniques relating to soft matter,
- to provide Internet and external access to teams and laboratories for their experimental research activities and to develop collaborations,
- to support the monitoring of technologies and knowledge (updating)
- ensure the monitoring of the operation of the devices,
- train users in good practices for autonomous use,
- ensure measurements in the context of services,
- guiding and assisting users in their scientific work
