Environmental, Pharmaceutical and Bioanalytical Center
  The research group of the analytical center is a team of professionals at the forefront of their disciplines, with over 20 years of experience in the area of pharmaceutical, biological and environmental systems.

R&D at the center is conducted using state-of-the-art technologies and assisted by active collaboration with various research groups at IIBR in the fields of organic and medicinal chemistry, pharmacology, biology and environmental sciences.

The center is active in several areas of R&D offering comprehensive analytical solutions. Methods are developed for the complete analytical process, including sampling, separation, measurement and computerized data processing.
 
  Environmental and toxic pollutants  
  The center develops improved methods for sensitive detection and identification of trace amounts of pollutants and markers ranging from volatile organics through non-volatile and thermolabile compounds in environmental matrices such as air, water, soil and in physiological media. The center developed unique capabilities for detection and identification of materials relevant to the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).  
  Pharmaceutical research  
  The center's R&D activity also encompasses development of methodology for detection, identification and quantitation of therapeutic drugs and of their decomposition products as well as their metabolites in physiological media.  
  Biological Mass Spectrometry  
  Methodologies for characterization of whole bacterial cells, proteins, peptides and exogenous materials in physiological media are developed in this center.
