Customer benefits

DNP significantly boosts the sensitivity of NMR experiments, enabling the detection of nuclei present at low concentrations or in low abundance compared to conventional NMR techniques. It can be used in metabolomics studies to analyze metabolic pathways, identify metabolites, and investigate metabolic fluxes in biological samples such as tissues, cells, and biofluids. Provides real-time monitoring of chemical reactions and kinetics, providing valuable information about reaction mechanisms, intermediate species, and reaction rates.

Target customer

Researchers or companies with needs to enhance sensitivity and elucidate metabolic pathways or changes occurred during therapy, for example, changes in the glycolytic metabolism within tumor cells. Polarized samples can be used for further in vitro or in vivo experiments depending on the information needed.

U25-S07. Focused Microwave Fixation System (Onsite&Remote) OUTSTANDING

Focused Microwave Fixation System (Onsite&Remote) OUTSTANDING

Muromachi Focused Microwave Fixation System 5KW-6402C. The system is configured to mouse (TAW-174A Applicator Head for WJM-28 Mouse Holder). Capable of fast euthanization (miliseconds range) of mice, and also to halt postmortem metabolism in cell suspensions and biopsy samples, allowing further examination without the need of low temperatures to avoid postmortem changes.

Customer benefits

Halting postmortem metabolism may allow for different long-term studies such as 13C NMR (natural abundance), 2D NMR acquisitions, and also to use physiological temperatures without any postmortem deterioration. Still, the halted sample is still valid for histopathological examination if needed.

Target customer

Customers that work with systems subjected to fast postmortem changes which could make detailed studies challenging without the use of extreme, non-physiological conditions.

U24-S02. Medical Imaging for Minimally Invasive Surgery (Onsite&Remote) OUTSTANDING

Medical Imaging for Minimally Invasive Surgery

Advancements in medical technologies have enabled the development and regular use of minimally invasive procedures, which could also be termed image-guided surgery. A platform that can integrate the different imaging techniques is pivotal to aid their development.
NANBIOSIS Unit 24 has medical grade imaging (i.e. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance including delayed enhancement, high performance ultrasound systems, flat panel fluoroscopes, intravascular optical coherence tomography) integrated in a surgical environment, so that these technologies are available for comprehensive follow up of interventions or new surgical approaches. Generally, image acquisition is performed at baseline and serially during the predetermined duration of the study in order to assess the effectiveness of these surgeries on measurable endpoints to document improvement.

Customer benefits

The studies are tailored to the needs of each specific candidate intervention, can be implemented with different follow-up times and can be performed under regulatory requirements, since the performing institution is Certified for Good Laboratory Practices.
Thus the Service can be provided as proof-of-concept studies, full safety and efficacy or under GLPs to meet regulatory agencies’ guidelines and assure clinical translation, so that the customers can take their therapy to a clinical trial faster and more efficiently, thanks to the full range of capabilities offered in this service.

Target customer

The offered service can be of interest to scientists from academia willing to test a possible surgery and perform serial follow up of its outcomes, early-stage medical professionals requiring training in minimally invasive surgery, late-stage surgeons that need to test an idea for an improved surgical approach, commercial companies that need to test the implantation of a device and its effect under GLP studies to commercialize their product.

U23-S03. Micromanipulation and microinjection

Micromanipulation and microinjection

Within the Assisted Reproduction Unit we have a laboratory equipped with two micromanipulation and microinjection equipment that allows us to inject the sperm into the cytoplasmic cavity of the oocyte (ICSI), in order to carry out fertilization. The advantage that this equipment offers is that it allows us to carry out in vitro fertilization without having to have a large number of sperm and oocytes. Furthermore, to be able to carry out this technique with oocytes from different animal species, we have a piezoelectric device to perform this intracytoplasmic injection without damaging the oocyte of the specific animal species.

Customer benefits

Having these micromanipulation and microinjection equipment allows us to offer this service to embryologists who wish to train in this technique and acquire the necessary skills to be able to carry out this technique in the human clinic. In addition, the implementation of this ICSI technique and the handling and use of micromanipulators and microinjectors allows for practical training for master’s students and specialized courses in human or animal assisted reproduction.
Because our laboratory is one of the few that researches assisted reproduction with animal models and has all this equipment, human reproduction clinics that want to perform tests with animal oocytes or embryos can perform their tests.
In our laboratory, since experiments can only be carried out with animal species, so our laboratory is suitable for it. In addition, the studies can also be carried out under regulatory requirements, since the institution that performs them is certified in Good Laboratory Practices.
In this way, preclinical studies can be carried out in animal models in compliance with the strict guidelines of the regulatory agencies, ensuring the reliability and traceability of all the results and tests carried out in its different services.

Target customer

This service can provide assistance to all those Human Reproduction companies and clinics that want to carry out in vitro fertilization studies using Micromanipulation and microinjection techniques of mouse embryos or other animal species, since we have a piezoelectric system that facilitates this process without damaging the oocyte.

In vitro fertilisation studies and embryo culture media viability

Through this service, in vitro fertilization processes can be carried out, including IVF and ICSI, of oocytes and sperm from different animal species, including mice, which are the animal species we mainly work with. To carry out this fertilization we have cabins, heated laminar flow, with stereomicroscopes included, plates, incubators with different gas systems and in order to evaluate the development of the embryos in real time we have recently incorporated a time lapse incubator, which allows us to carry out embryokinetic studies without having to remove the plates and the embryo from the incubator which improves the quality and viability of the embryo.
