This page lists the most commonly used experiments and equipments common to the Soft Matter team. Any newcomer can use this list to find out who is responsible for a technique and to ask for standard training, in order to become accredited and be able to access the reservation calendar. It will also be useful for more experienced experimenters to remind them of good practices and, after additional authorization, to access more technical documentation or protocols in order to adapt the equipment to their needs.
L2C platforms relevant for Soft Matter
Note that these platforms, although widely used by the Soft Matter team, are set up at the laboratory scale and have a specific operation.
