Key facilities and resources: Platine

Nanotechnologies offer highly promising prospects in the field of ultra-sensitive sensors; devices that are particularly useful in preventing pollution. Platine operates in this respect as a test center dedicated to research on nanosensors and their reliability. The facility features a variety of equipment, including a printer that uses inks containing nanoparticles to manufacture sensors, a nanocable to power sensors, a microscope to control deposits, and an environmental simulation bench with humidity and temperature controls to activate the sensors mechanically while measuring their electrical response. The facility also includes a fluid test bench for testing sensors designed to operate in liquid environments.
