This platform offers a list of services to the scientific community: sample processing (including swimmer sorting, sample fractionation and freeze-drying); mass, carbon and nitrogen analyses (total and organic), and elemental inorganic element measurements (aluminum, calcium, phosphorus, biogenic and lithogenic silica).

Sciences-Sur-Mer

As part of the Year of the Ocean, the Laboratoire d’Océanographie de Villefranche is actively participating in two major events: the One Ocean Science Congress and l’UNOC’3.
Our unit’s staff will take part in scientific discussions and associated events, and will also contribute to the “Sciences-sur-Mer” Festival (June 7–13, Villefranche-sur-Mer), which aims to strengthen the link between science and society by offering opportunities for dialogue between stakeholders and inviting both the general public and school groups to take part.
