Institute of Analytical Sciences

Created on 1st January 2011, the Institute of Analytical Sciences (ISA) is one of the largest european centers of research, training and expertise in this field. Located close to the scientific campus of Doua (Lyon – Villeurbanne) within the « Cité Lyonnaise de l’Environnement et de l’Analyse » (CLEA), the ISA is a joint research unit (UMR 5280) affiliated to the CNRS (The National Center for Scientific Research) and the University Claude Bernard Lyon 1. The institute brings together more than 120 scientists and technical staff with a range of expertise from theoretical chemistry through modelisation, biochemistry, analytical chemistry to physics. ISA has also a wide and cutting edge equipment. The Institute has set up its research activities into 3 Axis : Multidimensional approaches for complex samples, Surface and Miniaturisation for Analytical Research And Technology,  Theoretical and experimental approaches for molecular interactions. Research focuses on the development of new methods through continuing technological innovation for analysis of challenging systems across disciplines, with applications in environment, health, industrial analysis on-line, materials science. Its activites are driven both by fundamental objectives in analytical sciences and by interactions with the socio-economic environment at the local, national and international levels.
The group of Prof. Errachid is highly experienced in the fabrication of lab-on-chips for (bio)chemical detection based on flexible polymeric materials (developed by electroless deposition of gold or soft lithography (replica molding and µCP)) and soft lithography. The group makes its activities based in three laboratories. The first is a wet laboratory for biological and chemical development. Chemical oxidation, functionalization (thiols and silanes), and immobilization techniques (CNTs, NPs, PPy, antibodies, coating antigen, etc) are prepared in this specially designed lab. The lab contains a multi-channel potentiostat (VMP3, EC-Lab, France) for fundamental research in electrochemistry (voltammetric, impedance, pulsed techniques, etc) for up to 16 independent potentiostat channels and and two SP-200 single-channel potentiostats (EC-Lab). The lab also houses a Princeton Applied Research potentiostat/galvanostat (VersaSTAT 3, Ametek® France) for impedance and voltammetry-based analysis. The second lab consists of research made on potentiometric measurements, an IONICON LCU-a to generate trace amounts of VOCs from aqueous standards that are analyzed with our developed biosensor devices, and covalent bonding of PDMS microfluidic devices onto silane-functionalized thermoplastic films with specific applications (micromixing, microfiltering) for throughput of blood, plasma, VOCs, etc., for multiplex detection using O2 plasma (Diener PCCE). The third lab consists of surface characterization techniques (AFM, Nano-observer, CSI Instruments and CAM, OCA 15Pro) , a semi-automated µCP/NIL machine (GeSIMs µCP, Germany) for micro/nanopattering of surfaces and development of micro/nanostructures and also the InnoStamp 40, based on the InnoStamp technology, fully automated for nanopatterning processes with a high process reproducibility, nanometric resolution and possibility of multiplexing solution and allows users to control their processing in order to transfer a wide range of components homogeneously onto defined surfaces. It also contains a Smart Force capillary force assembly tool for fluorescence detection within microfluidics. This lab is also used for packaging (wire bonding, epoxy passivation etc) of fabricated BioLab-on-a-Chip devices for biomedical and environmental applications.

Institut de Recherche sur la Catalyse et l'Environnement de Lyon

The “Institut de recherche sur la Catalyse et l’Environnement de Lyon” (IRCELYON) is a joint research unit (UMR 5246) affiliated to the CNRS (The National Center for Scientific Research) and the University Claude Bernard Lyon 1. The institute brings together all competences in heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis over the Lyon area and forms the largest catalysis laboratory in France and Europe. It includes a permanent research staff of 115 members from CNRS and University and has many PhD students, post-docs, and invited scientists from all over the world.
The group ATARI in which JM Chovelon works, develop analytical tools to environmental and catalytic applications. Most of the applications developed used TD/GC/MS for air analysis and GC and LC, ionic chromatography, for water control but other techniques such as FTIR, DRX, BET, XPS are also used for the characterization of the materials.

Principal Investigators

	Prof. Abdelhamid Errachid, male, is a Full Professor Classe exceptionnel at the University Claude Bernard-Lyon 1 since the end of 2008. He received his Ph.D degree from the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona in 1997. Between 1997 and 2001 he worked as Junior Research Scientist at the Centro National de microelectronica (CNM). He later joined the Department of electronics of University of Barcelona and IBEC as Senior Research, where he worked from 2001 till 2008 . Prof Errachid has obtained top-level results in the field of silicon-based (bio)chemical sensors using field-effect transistors and micro/nanoelectrode structures. His deep knowledge and understanding of the electronic devices structure as well as operation and interplay between (bio)chemical molecules and electronics, has resulted in development of novel (bio)sensor devices such as, the original nanosensor device based on olfactory proteins developed under SPOT-NOSED project, amongst others). Prof. A. Errachid has an extensive expertise in EU projects coordination and participation, including KardiaTool (H2020-NMBP-X-KET-2017 no. 768686), HEARTEN (H2020-PHC-26-2014, no. 643694), MicroMole (H2020-FCT-2014, no. 653626), DiagCan (FP7-PEOPLE-2013-IEF, no. 628363), Sea-on-a-Chip (FP7-OCEAN-2013, no. 614168), SMARTCANCERSENS (ICT FP7, no. 294993), and SensorART (ICT-FP7, no, 248763) projects.
