Remote access details
PANISS is open to French and foreign academic organizations, as well as to the private sector, upon request.
Requests for analyses can be made in the framework of a reesarch collaboration or as a service provision to external users, as far as the human and analytical tools are available.Each request must be sent to the facility manager under the form of a research proposal, which will be then evaluated by a scientific committee.
Users must provide samples ready for analysis and will be in charge of paying for the access fees (contact the facility manager for more details about both sample preparation and fees).

Equipment
PANISS provides the necessary equipment to conduct four types of analytical applications:
1) analyses δ18O and δ13C of carbonates,
2) analyses δ18O and δ17O of silicates and oxides,
3) analyses δ18O, δ17O and δD of water and water vapour,
4) analyses δ15N, δ13C and δD of organic compounds.
The facility is also developing training services to its users.

Description
The Platform for Stable Isoptope Analyses is located the CEREGE laboratory. The data it allows producing mainly feed CEREGE's research on paleoclimates, water and carbon cycles, and planetology.
The platform is under the technical and scientific responsibility of Corinne Sonzogni (CNRS engineer) and Anne Alexandre (CNRS researcher), respectively. A second engineer, Martine Couapel (IRD engineer) is more particularly involved in silicate and water applications.
