Sylvain Berail

Sylvain Bérail is currently engineer at the French National research center (CNRS). He’s working in the Pluridisciplinary Insitute of Research on Environment and Material (IPREM-LCABIE) at the University of Pau. He started his career working for a private company (Evans Analytical Group) as a GD-MS operator and then as ICP department manager. In 2008 he joined the IPREM institute where he is in charge of the MC-ICP-MS facilities. In addition, he was invited in 2014 as a guest researcher in the NIST (National Institute of Standard and Technology) at the HML (Hollings Marine Laboratory, Charleston SC, USA) to promote Hg isotopic analysis for environmental studies.

His scientific interests include the use of non-traditional stable isotopes (Hg,Pb,Sr,…) as a tool for environmental research and food authenticity. This include the development of hyphenations between MC-ICP-MS and specific introduction systems (Laser, chromatography,...) to open new fields of applications for isotopic analysis.
