What about 2025?
UCLouvain will celebrate its 600th anniversary. As far as platforms are concerned, we're looking forward to the large-scale development of the common equipment management system, a focus on each of the three Excellence platforms from the Plan de Relance, and a few other projects that you'll discover in future editions!

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to detect, identify and quantify a wide range of organic and inorganic molecules, polymers as well as supramolecular and biological systems
The ASM platform has just acquired two new NMR spectrometers
- a 400 MHz Jeol JNM-ECZL (opposite - Photo credit: ASM), an indispensable analysis tool for all routine research activities and teaching laboratories;

- a 600 MHz Jeol JNM-ECZL600G, mainly dedicated to more advanced analyses.
More versatile than the instruments of the old generation, it will allow measurements to be carried out on liquid and solid samples at variable temperatures.

Characterization of molecules from small to large molecular mass?
To boost research in the fields of chemistry, biology and materials science, a new high-resolution mass spectrometer (HRMS) coupled with an Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) has just been installed within the ASM platform.

The LAS&O platform has just acquired a new frequency comb
This device will be used to determine the frequency of lasers emitting in the near infrared with the precision of atomic clocks, for various metrological applications such as measuring the spectral signatures of molecules of astrophysical interest.

A new LEAF label for a platform
On September 24, the IREC animal facility was awarded bronze accreditation by LEAF (Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework), which develops standards for sustainable development in research laboratories.
The Animalerie team is delighted with this recognition of the commitment of every member of staff to improving the ecological footprint of its activities.

Valérie Dormal, the CICN's operational manager, was appointed Research Logistician on November 1. This position, to which all 3 sectors of UCLouvain contributed, is a first for the platform and guarantees long-term stability.
Pieter Heremans joined the CISM team last August.
As a computer scientist, Pieter will be working within the framework of the Consortium des Équipements de Calcul Intensif (CECI), of which CISM is a member.
