Reference materials processing laboratories

IRMM has developed unique high technology equipment and expertise for the efficient processing of a large variety of biological and food reference materials.

The reference materials laboratory is one of the largest and most sophisticated in the world. It hosts a unique multi-functional and flexible production laboratory, with cryo-grinding and freeze drying equipment, high purity milling and levitation melting devices. This laboratory can quickly adapt its production facilities to cater for urgent requests.

Special clean chambers allow the processing of potentially hazardous materials mainly used in the biotechnological field, while protecting both the staff and the material from contamination.

A new storage building was inaugurated in October 2005.
