Biocharacterization Services

Biocharacterization Services

Bellow we describe our main biocharacterization services. Apart from the list bellow we also develop new assays according to the demand.

Microbiological Services:Cellular counting: It quantifies the total concentration of microorganisms presented in a liquid or solid sample by optical counting using phase-contrast microscopy.

Cellular Viability: It is a method to quickly determine the percentage of cells that are alive on a sample, results are available within a day. The method is based on the differential staining of viable and non-viable cells, which is observed by fluorescence microscopy.

Oxygen Consumption Test: It measures the basal oxygen consumption of a sample, and the cellular oxidizing activity with different substrates, such as iron, tetrathionate and sulfur. This technique provides a faster alternative to the oxidation studies.
