General information

Short Summary
A Spanish biotech SME with extensive experience in the application of spectrophotometric and electrochemical assays to measure the redox state of several matrices such as fruits, vegetables, wines, juices, oils, microalgae, cosmetics, biological fluids, etc., offers measurement services, custom assay developments, assistance and collaboration in projects related to redox state analysis, oxidative stability, antioxidant activity, quality control, etc., under commercial or research agreements.
Full Description
The SME specializes in developing spectrophotometric assays kits and electrochemical devices to determine the redox state of different types of samples. Some of the analysis the company has developed are:
• Total Antioxidant Capacity (enzymatic and non-enzymatic)
• Antioxidant compounds (polyphenols, anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, glutathione, ascorbic acid…)
• Biomolecules Oxidative Damage (lipids and proteins)
• Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)
Through its sample analysis service, the company has extensive experience applying their products across diverse matrices (biological fluids, food and beverages, antioxidant extracts, plant-based materials, etc.). They also offer custom assay development service to address specific client challenges.
Study the redox state of a sample is highly useful in different fields like:
• Medicine and Health: study the role of oxidative stress in diseases, effectiveness of antioxidant drugs...
• Nutrition: impact of an antioxidant-rich diet in health, aging…
• Foods: antioxidants as preservative agents, shelf-life studies…
• Cosmetics: effectiveness of antioxidants for skin health, antiaging actives…
The company offers fast, sensitive, reproducible and accurate spectrophotometric assay kits for measuring the parameters previously mentioned.
The company has also developed a portable electrochemical device for measuring the total antioxidant capacity in a wide variety of aqueous and organic samples. This electrochemical device is suitable for on-site analysis and allows the determination of total antioxidant capacity in less than one minute using a drop of sample.
The company has the EIBT brand (Innovative Technology-Based Company) granted by the National Association of CEEI (ANCES) since 2015, and it is certified to be in accordance with the requirements of Standard ISO 9001. In 2023 it has been recognized as Innovative SME by the Government of Spain, through the Ministry of Science and Innovation.
The SME is looking for partners to cooperate with via commercial agreement (e.g. regular quality control analysis, measurement services…) or research projects.
The company has an international presence and a network of distributors across Europe and the rest of the globe.
