Analytical capacity with the kind of mastered technical
CORSAIRE platform is able to handle biological samples of diverse nature (biological fluids, gas, tissue extracts) of various biological origins (microbial, animal, plant) from marine environments, land, wild, of rearing or culture.
The proposed benefits are numerous: global approaches, targeted approaches, dynamic approaches (fluxomics).
The platform has the expertise and the appropriate organization to ensure the standardized management of requests for analysis, realization and issuing progress reports.
Analytical skills are mainly based on the mastery of diversified mining techniques (liquid, SPE, SPME, ...) of various separation techniques based on liquid or gas chromatography systems and various detection techniques (Vis, UV, Fluorescent, refractometer, mass spectrometry, NMR).
Different mass spectrometers configurations at low and high resolutions are available. The NMR spectrometers are variable and equipped with sensors diversified fields.
CORSAIR, in partnership with the ABIMS platform, has contributed to the development of tools restatements data in Galaxy as well for mass spectrometry that for NMR.

Skills and Human Resources
Human resources gathered on each of the constituent plates of the platform corresponds to about 25 eq. full-time committed by permanent and contract staff levels technicians, engineers and assistant engineers applied to actions for technical achievements, coordination, data processing, quality control.
Quality approach
Some CORSAIRE trays are certified, others in the process of becoming. A facilitator is responsible for the harmonization of quality processes
