INFRASTRUCTURE
Remote access details

The LN2C is a national facility funded by the CNRS and IRD, and which originally offers access to French Universities research communities. In addition, access can be now provided to scientists at the European and International scales upon request, may they be academics or from the private sector.

AMENITIES
Equipment

The services provided include:
-the preparation of samples,
-the measurements of cosmogenic isotopes (10Be, 26Al, 36Cl) by accelerator mass spectrometry.
