The platform is being further developed in 2013, with the support of Agropolis Fondation, by the creation of LipPolGreen-Asia, an extension hosted in Bangkok (Thaïland) by Kasetsart University and dedicated to the study of biomass of tropical origin. A complement to the Montpellier main platform, LipPolGreen-Asia will propose, starting fall 2013, high level facilities for the preparation, stabilization and pre-characterization of samples of tropical origin (HPLC-MS/MS, GC-MS, GC-FID, 1D and 2D-electrophoresis ; lyophiliser), also providing a facilitated access for researchers and students from South-East Asia to the LipPolGreen platform.
