NAME Laboratory for the evaluation of microbiological safety and POCs
Microbiological safety tests are conducted in the laboratory. It facilitates a wide range of studies in the field, including the detection of environmental, food, and clinical microorganisms. We develop Point of Care (POC) devices for pathogen detection, as well as other markers of interest to the client. The laboratory applies ISO and UNE standards. It is accredited by the Ministry of Health and Consumption of Spain to work under Good Laboratory Practices (BPLs) for drugs, healthcare and hygiene products.
