Biological Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis

LBCAM provides

  • a suite of advanced characterisation for advanced materials within biologically relevant matrices and environments.
  • a broad range of expertise, knowledge instrumentation and experimental protocols


physical and chemical properties

Physico-chemical characterisation of advanced materials using a set of imaging, invasive and non-invasive techniques and assays aimed at providing the physical and chemical properties of the advanced material investigated.


physical and chemical properties

 

Identification of lead candidate materials (nanosized and composite with larger dimension) through toxicity analysis in vitro (by means of high throughput and content screening).

Identification of lead candidates as advanced materials (nanosized and/or larger) by implementing various biomedical assays, methodologies and analytical techniques customized to match specific prospective applications of the investigated materials.


physical and chemical properties

 

Analysis of the advanced material’s interactions with the animal models.
