Plateforme GISMO – Plate-forme technologique GISMO

GISMO: stable isotope, elemental and mineral analysis

The GISMO laboratory (University of Burgundy and Franche-Comté) provides analytical services to the research community, as well as public institutes and private agencies.

GISMO delivers results applicable to many domains of Environmental Sciences, including Geosciences, Agriculture, Viti- and Viniculture, and Life Sciences.

GISMO offers analytical services in research and development studies:

Our scientific and technical teams are therefore engaged to produce quality data to the user.

Thanks to our collaboration with Sayens agro-environnement, we transfer our expertise in research and development partnerships.
Our commitment includes a serious project monitoring during contract implementation.
