Scientific consulting services

We are able to quickly carry out patent searches and monitoring for effective management of innovation and competition.

High quality and specialised services

These techniques have the task of supporting therapeutic action by the doctor and better target therapies; in the corporate field, we support preclinical and clinical activity with tests that allow a clear understanding of the action of treatments on both tissues and bacterial cells, which allows us to reduce study times and enhance the value of the product for commercial activity.

1. EDX, TEM, SEM, Immunogold and correlative microscopy on samples provided by the Sponsor: biopsies, 3D tissues, organic samples from patients, isolated cellular populations, finished pharmaceutical products, bacteria, fungal and protozoa samples.
2. Customised research studies and services on reconstructed human tissues infected with micro-organisms.
3. Diagnostics on samples from professional doctors or from clinical trials performed in specialised CROs.

R&D Focus

RED and GREY Biotechnology: our expertise spans both RED (medical) and GREY (environmental) biotechnology, reflecting our holistic approach to innovation.

Our other skills: we are committed to developing customised innovative diagnostic rapid tests facilitating faster and more accurate diagnoses.

Our diagnostic kits and products

• CitoSEM® — trade mark kit for medical doctors and clinicians. Based on the analysis of tears to evaluate the presence of bacteria, fungi, protozoa and immune cells by correlative microscopy.
• ORL® — kit for analysis of nasal epithelium, sputum and oral/nasal cavity fluid to evaluate the presence of bacteria, fungi, protozoa and immune cells.
• Lentisem® — analysis of contact lenses to evaluate the presence of bacteria, fungi and protozoa (SEM).
• BIOMA-SEM — analysis of microbiome modifications applicable to a wide variety of samples.
• Skin-SEM — analysis of dermatological samples to evaluate the presence of bacteria, fungi, protozoa and oncological cells by correlative microscopy also associated with TEM.
• HEPATOTEM and HEPATOSEM — analysis of liver biopsy tissue to evaluate the structure and anomalies of the tissue and ultrastructural analysis of liver cells.
• I-gold TEM / I-gold SEM — analysis dedicated to CROs as complementary evaluation to confirm clinical evidence and personalised therapies: applicable to all types of tissue.
• CORA-MICROSCOPY — correlative microscopy: various microscopy techniques are applied and correlated to derive a diagnostic and/or experimental unicum, eliminating the disadvantages of the various techniques. Applicable on the same sample without replicates.
• 3D-TEM / 3D-SEM — 3D reconstruction of a tissue or cell, including its alterations under pharmacological action.
• Acanthamoeba rapid test (patented) — rapid and highly sensitive diagnostic test for Acanthamoeba keratitis. In vitro sensitivity of 95% for cysts and trophozoites, specificity of 98% against other ocular pathogens. Results in 1-2 minutes. Prospective clinical study underway on 20 patients (40 eyes).
