MSN Laboratories
High-class research is conducted at the MSN department thanks partly to top-class laboratory infrastructure and a laboratory management system that aims for excellence. Latest technologies and laboratory equipment in several research fields are available. A characterization platform that provides transverse support and training to researchers and students has also evolved into playing a central role in the development of the laboratory space. All equipment are available for academic and industrial research collaborations and are well prearranged in several platforms:
