CARAA -Centre d'Analyses et de Recherche en Art et Archéologie-

CARAA is an analytical research unit which applies the most suitable and modern physico-chemical techniques existing for cultural heritage and art market in order to answer questions related to the conservation, restoration, dating, characterization or authentication of art objects. CARAA works with a network of institutional laboratories and in agreement with various academic institutions in order to respond accurately to each issue. The analytical techniques used at CARAA in collaboration with associated laboratories and universities make use of bench and mobile instruments. They includes : Optical microscopy (OM) X-ray imaging and tomography Elemental technics : Environmental scanning electron microscopy coupled with Energy dispersive spectroscopy (ESEM-EDS) Portable X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) Electron microbeam probe analysis (EMPA) Inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy (ICP-MS) Nano-SIMS Molecular technics : Raman microscopy X-ray diffraction (XRD) Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) Liquid and gas chromatography coupled with masse spectroscopy (LC & GC-MS)
