The Spectrometry and Chemical Analysis Laboratory of the Center for Translational Medicine is a state-of- the-art research facility dedicated
to precise qualitative and quantitative analysis of a wide range of biological, environmental,
and pharmaceutical samples. A key role of the laboratory is its capacity to perform multi-parameter elemental analyses
and particle/nanoparticle characterization, which are essential in basic research,
translational projects, and preclinical studies.

The laboratory supports research projects involving the assessment of the composition of biological samples
(e.g., tissues, body fluids), environmental contaminant monitoring, and studies
on the safety and purity of pharmaceutical formulations and dietary supplements. Of particular importance,
the use of an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometer (ICP-OES)
enables accurate determination of heavy metals and other elements, which is critical when evaluating the purity
of medical and veterinary products.

In addition, the laboratory offers advanced analysis of biological particles such as liposomes and
exosomes, which are increasingly used in modern therapies and diagnostics.
Dynamic light scattering (DLS) technology allows for the determination of particle size,
dispersion, and aggregation in tested samples.

The laboratory's comprehensive analytical capabilities are complemented by spectrophotometric techniques, widely used
for the analysis of chemical and biological substances, as well as toxicological studies. UV-Vis spectrophotometry
enables the analysis of chemical composition, determination of active compound concentrations, and
and monitoring of biological and enzymatic processes.

Laboratory Equipment

• Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) – precise elemental analysis of
  biological and environmental samples,

  samples, soil, food, and drug formulations),
• DLS Analyzer (DELSA Max Pro) – nanoparticle size and distribution analysis (e.g., exosomes,
  liposomes),
• UV-Vis Spectrophotometer – quantitative analysis and identification of chemical compounds and
  biological samples.
