Ingénierie cellulaire et tissulaire

Thanks to its expertise in analytical chemistry and bioanalysis, QIMA Life Sciences assists you with the biochemical characterization of non-invasive clinical samples.

The technologies of interest are mainly chromatographic methods:

  • LC/UV/Fluo/CAD (autosampler with fraction collector)
  • LC/MS and LC/MSMS with ESI/APCI
  • GC/MS (EI, CI with CTC injector and SHS, DHS and TDU)

We carry out standard assays and develop robust new analytical methods:

Standard assays

  • Cholesterol and free fatty acids (saturated and unsaturated)
  • Neutral lipids (squalene, wax, mono/di/triglycerides, cholesterol and esters)
  • Ceramides
  • Eicosanoids
  • Peroxidised lipids
  • Malondialdehyde (MDA)
  • NMF components (serine, urocanic acid (UCA), pyrrolidone carboxylic acid PCA))
  • Amino acids
  • Vitamins
  • Urea and lactate
  • Mineral elements (calcium, potassium, selenium, zinc, magnesium)
  • Heavy metals
