Leducq Platform - Microfluidics and High-Resolution Imaging
| Thematics : AFM, BioAFM, live-cell imaging, soft lithography, microfluidics, microfabrication, atomic force microscopy, microfluidic chip prototyping |
The Leducq Platform is a microfluidics and high-resolution imaging platform open to both academic and industrial users. The platform’s activities are organized into two main areas:
- a space dedicated to microfabrication processes and the prototyping of microfluidic chips.
- High-resolution imaging of living cells using atomic force microscopy (Bio-AFM), and surface studies in chemistry and biology
