VISION NMR VIBE
Every molecule hides a truth.
We make it speak.
NMR Vibe explores the invisible to identify, verify, and understand matter using the world’s most powerful analytical method: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR).
What sets us apart?
Cutting-edge expertise, optimized access to high-end equipment unused in research centers, and an ability to translate complex data into clear decisions for businesses.
NMR Vibe is the bridge between high-level science and concrete needs in the field. For chemistry that’s more understandable, more agile, and above all, more useful.

About
Open the way between
research & industry
During 15 years of scientific exploration at the CNRS, I navigated three different research territories, guided by an insatiable curiosity for molecular mysteries.
My journey began in the polymer laboratories of INSA Lyon, where for seven years I mapped the complex structures of industrial macromolecules. Then, for four years at the Very High Magnetic Field NMR Center in Lyon, I explored the technological frontiers of spectroscopic analysis, where the most sophisticated machines reveal their best-kept secrets.
It was during these scientific expeditions that one thing became clear: exceptional equipment, true precision instruments capable of revealing the finest composition of any material, remained confined to research laboratories. Meanwhile, industrial companies were desperately searching for ways to analyze their products with the same precision. This discovery gave birth to our mission : to forge new paths between the world of research and that of industry, to make accessible to all entrepreneurs what was previously reserved only for academic researchers.
A pioneering vision in tune
with our times
Our ambition ?
Break down the barriers that separate SMEs from cutting-edge analytical technologies. We are exploring new commercial territories where company size no longer determines access to the most powerful characterization tools.
By making NMR accessible, we are opening new horizons for entrepreneurs. Precisely understanding the composition of their products unlocks opportunities for improvement and allows them to conquer new markets with solid technical arguments.
We are exploring the creation of a community of stakeholders where universities, research centers, and companies collaborate naturally. This alliance will pool expertise and collectively accelerate industrial discoveries.
NMR spectrometers represent considerable investments and cutting-edge technologies. Our mission is to preserve this strategic equipment, maintain its optimal performance and make it profitable in the service of economic innovation.

The most powerful analysis method
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a non-destructive spectroscopic analysis technique that exploits the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei. In concrete terms, it allows us to « photograph » the molecular structure of your samples by revealing the identity, position, and environment of each atom.
The principle is based on a fundamental discovery: certain atomic nuclei (such as hydrogen, carbon-13, nitrogen-15) behave like tiny magnets. Placed in a powerful magnetic field and excited by radio waves, they emit characteristic signals that constitute their molecular « fingerprint. »
This fingerprint allows us to precisely reconstruct the three-dimensional structure of molecules, quantify each component, and understand the interactions between the different elements in your sample.
Absolutely! Our shared model makes NMR accessible to all companies, regardless of size. You benefit from the same equipment and expertise as large industrial groups, with rates adapted to your budget and short turnaround times.
NMR perfectly complements your existing analyses. It reveals information that traditional techniques cannot detect: unknown molecular structures, quantifications without standards, analyses of complex mixtures. It is the ideal problem-solving tool when your usual methods reach their limits.
NMR analyzes an exceptionally wide range of samples: organic and aqueous liquids, solids, powders, gels, emulsions, suspensions, etc. If your product contains hydrogen or carbon atoms (which is the case for 99% of industrial products), it can be analyzed by NMR.
Turnaround times vary from 24 hours to one week depending on the complexity. For quantities, we work with samples of 0.5 to 2 ml for liquids or 10 to 100 mg for solids. These minimal quantities allow you to preserve your valuable products while still obtaining reliable results.
That’s our expertise! We systematically translate spectroscopic data into concrete industrial information. You will receive a detailed report in French with practical recommendations, accompanied by a telephone conversation to answer all your questions and guide you in using the results.

Testimonials
"Un grand merci à Cécile pour son efficacité, son professionnalisme et sa pédagogie en RMN dans le cadre d’une collaboration visant à identifier un composé inconnu dans l’un de nos extraits végétaux. "
"I had the pleasure of working with Cécile, and she was truly remarkable to collaborate with. Her sharp problem-solving skills match her expertise in NMR, she always finds a way forward, no matter how complex the challenge."
“Cécile was my colleague at the CRMN in Lyon France and was valuable member of the center. She was in part responsible for upkeep and maintenance of our many instruments, trained users, and performed her own research as time allowed. She is knowledgable in both solid and solution state NMR, as well as advanced instrumentation that's associated with NMR (DNP, Cryoprobes, etc.). Cécile is someone who takes her work seriously and does it well, but she is also personable, patient, and willing to teach. She is a pleasure to work with and someone who you can depend on to do a great job..”
“Durant ma thèse (IMP INSA Lyon), j'ai eu l'occasion de travailler plusieurs mois avec Cécile pour élucider la structure de nouveaux polyéthers par RMN. Son excellente maîtrise des équipements et des méthodes, sa précision et sa disponibilité ont été des atouts indéniables pour atteindre l'objectif. Le tout dans une approche didactique. On retrouve ce travail dans Journal of Polymer Science, Part A : Polymer Chemistry, 2017, 55, 2178. Je recommande vivement ses compétences. Jean-David Rodier.”
“I have known Cécile during my postdoc: She is a smart scientist, with a deep knowledge of NMR spectroscopy. Serious and patient, she taught me a lot while working together. Thank you Cécile :).”
