Long description

The association of complementary skills such as physicochemistry, polymer chemistry, immunology, cellular biology, molecular biology and virology leads to the development of novel nano-objects with unique characteristics.

Ademtech manufactures calibrated particles (CV<20%) of 100 to 500 nm, with high magnetic content (70% of iron oxides) and controlled surface bearing various functionalities – carboxylic acids and amine – and biological activities brought by streptavidine, antibodies or proteins A and G.

These magnetic particles are especially designed for concentration, separation, purification and identification of molecules and specific cells. Besides, they are particularly suitable for integration in microfluidic devices.

Ademtech offers its core expertise to customised coupling services based on the nano particules in order to develop specific purification tools.
For the near future, ADEMTECH is developing some diagnostic and scientific research applications offering a global solution to the costumers including devices and instruments.

Delivering optimum service to our customers and watching the market closely are among the driving forces that inspire our Research and Development teams. These people work daily with marketing and sales personnel to develop processes to increase the performance of existing products, and make production, transportation, and application even safer.
This policy is reflected in our clear commitment to constantly improve the reliability and competitiveness of our processes. This may mean, for example, cutting down on production stages in order to focus quickly on the molecule or the product in question.
Our most advanced research relates to the nanostructuring of polymers (molecular structures on a nano-scale, the nanometer being one billionth of a meter). Arkema holds a crucial position in the field of new materials through its command of original polymerization techniques (ionic or radical polymerization) which ensure controlled polymer chain growth.

In CEMES, we study materials from an experimental and a theoretical point of view, from the atomic up to the macroscopic scale. CEMES encompasses an important activity in elaboration, chemical synthesis, realisation of new devices and instrumentation.

Of course, the CEMES experimental means cope with the challenge of study matter from nano-materials to nanoscale sciences: last generation of electron transmission microscopes, fabrication of UHV near-field microscopes (STM, AFM, SNOM), X-ray diffractometers. They allow to probe matter down to the atomic scale, to manipulate atoms and molecules and to start to study the quantum control of molecules.

The CEMES commitments are both fundamental and applied: induce, understand and model phenomena from atomic scale to materials in relation with the major present industrial domains (Aeronautics, electronics, chemistry)

The CEMES is strongly engaged towards the future, towards new frontiers of sciences and technologies like new materials and miniature machines in the realm of nanosciences, nano-materials and nanotechnologies. Those fascinating areas point out the possibilities offered by structuring matter atom by atom, reaching more efficient materials or establishing the future of nano-machines.

WHAT IS NANOELECTRONICS?

Microelectronics has changed our world drastically: computers, mobile phones, digital television, DVD players, car navigation and security features, medical screening and health care equipment have all become essential parts of our everyday lives. Nanoelectronics is just the next evolutionary step, as the number of transistors that can be integrated on a single chip reaches one billion, but it indeed represents a revolution marking a dramatic step forward.

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM IT?

Products with totally new capabilities will become available for general use, dreams such as intelligent cars, non-invasive health monitoring and disease prevention, homes sensitive and responsive to the needs of the persons living in it will become available to everybody., We will get better control of our health and environment, and over the quality of our food and our air, we will be able to recognise diseases even before symptoms appear, and we will be able to be fully mobile and at the same stay constantly in touch with everybody.

WHY ENIAC?

Such developments will require completely new architectural approaches to deal with the ever increasing levels of complexity required. If the primary knowledge needed for innovation, that is the development of the enabling technology for Nanoelectronics, will be built up and retained in Europe, this will result in enormous benefits to national and regional economies of the EU Member and Associated States, in terms of industrial competitiveness, employment and the resulting general wellbeing of citizens.

A fundamental condition for such knowledge-based European leadership is co-operation and interaction between all key players: European research centres, major producers of semiconductors, materials, equipment and applications, high technology small and medium-sized enterprises, national and regional authorities, universities and financial institutions.

The European Technology Platform on Nanoelectronics and its governing structure European Nanoelectronics Initiative Advisory Council (ENIAC) have the mission to bring together all these leading players to develop and implement a coherent European vision, making the best use of European talent and infrastructures to ensure European leadership in shaping our future.
