About installation
The Bioanalysis and Biotechnology Lab of the Institute of Marine Biology, Biotechnology and Aquaculture (IMBBC-HCMR) employs diverse instrumental techniques, such as HPLC, gas chromatography, mass spectrometry and spectrophotometry, to perform analysis of numerous biomolecules in various biological matrices and assess some of their basic bioactivities (antibacterial and antioxidant activity, cosmetic-related activity etc) in microplate format. Examples of our research activities are: Analysis of biotoxins in organisms/microorganisms; Detailed analysis of photosynthetic pigments (chlorophylls and carotenoids) for investigating antioxidants production in microalgae cultures and for assessing the trophic status of marine ecosystems; Analysis of a broad panel of steroid hormones in serum (and other sample matrices) of farmed fish for assessing stress levels and predicting sex in early developmental stages; Extraction of organisms and assessment of bioactive compounds.
