Many establishments are fitted with SAFAS instruments, thus profiting not only by the Quality of our products, but also by our wide customer net, for which our engineers and developers go on developing software and applications perfectly corresponding to their needs, and with technologies they won’t find anywhere else.

Thanks to our fast and accurate mesurements, to the possibility to easily export measurements and files, to automatically validate our instruments on certified standards, our customers can achieve all their applications automatically, safely and with full safety of the recorded data (FDA 21CFR part11).


MEDICAL RESEARCH

In the field of medical and fundamental research, SAFAS has always been very active despite the too low budgets available in that field ; for that reason, we never hesitated to study and develop new solutions in collaboration with researchers, when major medical discoveries were at stake. This is our way to participate to a positive evolution of mankind.

In a world where business and marketing are leading the developments of new technologies, SAFAS is proud to have always been intoducing breakthrough technologies for fundamental research, establishing partnerships with research labs, regularly designing instruments unique in the world, or formerly thought impossible to design. Among the many labs equipped with SAFAS instruments, let’s list many CNRS (France) and CNR (Italy) labs, INRA (agronomic research), INSERM (biology and human health), and also ITV (wine research), INA, as well as a lot of research labs in Pharmaceutical, Veterinary and Cosmetic groups. Instruments recently designed for Myopathy research and Cancer research have lead to major innovations in these fields.


MEDICAL RESEARCH AGAINST CANCER


MEDICAL RESEARCH : AGAINST MYOPATHIA, AND ON MITOCHONDRIA

mitochondriesThe fundamental research lab’ INSERM U688 is a leading research unit studying the mitochondria, which provide energy to our cells. Due to the neuromuscular pathologies called mitochondrial deseases, the U688 collaborates with the Hospitals of Bordeaux and with the association for mitochondrial diseases (AMMI).

One of the main functions of mitochondria is to transform the energy of food into an energy which can directly be used for biological functions, called ATP. The U688 has recently demonstrated how important are mitochondria in that mechanism. Mitochondria are also very important in apoptosis. According to the mitochondrial theory of aging, mutations accumulate in the mitochondrial DNA, which involves malfunctions and increase of ROS production, thus increasing the cell degradation.

U 688 gathers 20 researchers and is managed by Pr Thierry LETELLIER. That unit also belongs to the Federetive Research Institute IFR 4, which gathers several laboratories in the fields of cardiovascular, respiratory, muscular deseases, and thrombosis. Dr Rodrigue ROSSIGNOL achieves very innovative researchs on mitochondrial and cellular bioenergetics, and their application to cancer.

This leading research laboratory has selected the highest performance instruments to achieve its innovative experiments, in particular a SAFAS UVmc2 double beam spectrophotometer, a SAFAS Xenius DWL double wavelength spectrophotometer, a multivalent SAFAS Xenius spectrofluorometer for cuvettes and microplates, with polarizers for anisotropy and with external fiber optics for in situ measurements in an external oxygraph, and a fast microplate reader SAFAS MP96.


MEDICAL RESEARCH AGAINST BRAIN DESEASES


BIOTECHNOLOGIES


WATER ANALYSIS AND ENVIRONMENTAL LABS

In the field of environmental analysis and water analysis, the sensitivity of SAFAS instruments enable to reach exceptional sensitivity limits, in classical spectrophotometry as well as in spectrofluorescence. For example, the internationally reputed Research Center of the Italian National Research Council, Institute of Ecosystem Study based at Verbania Pallanza on the "Lago Maggiore" in Italy, is faced to analysis of high purity water, for which the highest levels of sensitivity and reproducibility over years are essential ; after evaluation of the highest sensitivity available on the market, they have selected SAFAS instruments to achieve their analysis.

Their main research subjects are limnology and ecophysiology of aquatic systems, population ecology, evolutionistic biology, biodiversity & nature conservancy, macro & micro environmental pollutants, biological pest control and biomanipulation, soil ecosystem, control & recovery.

In the field of food industries, many groups have chosen the Quality of SAFAS instruments to achieve their quality controls, especially the milk and cheese manufacturers, equipped with SAFAS microplate readers, proteins analyzers, spectrofluorometers and spectrophotometers.


WINE ANALYSIS

In the field of Wine Analysis / "Oenology", many labs have chosen the sensitivity and the ruggness of SAFAS instruments SAFAS for their daily analysis. They are usually very satisfied to be able to use SAFAS instruments aged 10, 20 or even 30 years old, with continued service and spare parts availability.

For example in Bordeaux, Beaujolais, Côtes-du-Rhône, Champagne, Côtes de Provence, Cognac, Languedoc-Roussillon, Corsica, Tunisia, Italy, etc...

We are also suppliers of ITV (Institut Technologique du Vin) with which advanced studies have been achieved regarding grapefruit maturation.


NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS AND REPROCESSING PLANTS

In the nuclear field, SAFAS has always been developing new technologies to improve sensitivity of measurements and safety of users.

Many options are available for easy analysis of radioactive samples, in full safety.

Particularly in the years 70’s, SAFAS has been actively working on the first fiber optics solutions, thus providing the first turnkey solutions for nuclear use.

Since then, SAFAS has developed a strong know-how in high energy in-situ analysis using fiber optics.

In the years 90’s, strong collaborations with Cogema / Areva and CEA (Commissariat à l’Energie Atomique) have lead to the development of special instruments for nuclear reprocessing plants and nuclear power plants.


PETROCHEMISTRY

In oil and petrol industries and refineries, the reliability of SAFAS instruments is much appreciated.

We can provide turnkey solutions with strong maintenance contracts, and have successfully provided our instruments to many Petrochemical groups and research centers.

We are also proud to be suppliers of the French Petroleum Institute (IFP).


EDUCATION, SCHOOLS, HIGH SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES

The reliability, the ruggness and the long life of our instruments have enabled SAFAS to gain a name over the years.

Because our legendary reliability means very low ownership costs, and also because they are so easy to use, SAFAS instruments are also the best choice for education purposes, where for example, several thousands of units are currently being used with great satisfaction by French Schools.
