Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1

The Institute of Analytical Sciences (ISA) is a centre of research, expertise, services, and training in analytical chemistry. This Joint Unit of Research (UMR 5280) is contracted with the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), the University of Lyon1, and the Ecole Normale Supérieure of Lyon. ISA is divided into 3 departments: the European Centre for high fields NMR (CRMN), the Analytical Sciences Laboratory (LSA), and the Central Analysis Service (SCA). Total staff is about 200 persons including 120 permanents, 60 Ph.D. students, and postdoctoral fellows. The team SIMS: “Surfaces - (bio) Interface - Micro/nano Systèmes” is highly experienced in the conception and engineering of surfaces and layers, including recognizing molecules, well adapted to various transducers: FETs-based, micro/nanoelectrodes, micro/nanointerdigitated, conductimetric, impedimetric, etc) for biochemical detection.

Within the fields of nanobioscience, micro&nanotechnology, electrical engineering, and appliedphysics the group develops biosensors and unconventional micro&nanotechnologies to create flexibleanalytical tools based on BioLab-on-chips, micro/nanosensors, micromixers, and microfilters. Theseinnovative tools, designed to be suitable for large-scale production at low cost have application inhealthcare and life sciences, ranging from uncovering and diagnosing disease, especially cancerbiomarkers, to the discovery and screening of new drug molecules.

We develop biosensors based on specifically designed surfaces using micro-contact printing (µCP) andelectroless deposition (EDL). We design also Biolab-on-chips with gold microelectrodes manufacturedon substrates (e.g. polyimide) by a combination of soft lithography tools such as replica molding, µCP, and self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). Other flexible microfilters and micromixers are based onsealing microstructured poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) to the different functionalized thermoplasticfilms (polyimide (PI), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
