The Institute of Biophysics and Cell Engineering of the NAS of Belarus offers services for the analysis of essential and toxic elements to consumers under an outsourcing agreement.

The analysis carried out using atomic emission spectroscopy with inductively coupled plasma. It makes it possible to determine the content of macro – and microelements (about 70) simultaneously in any biological material (blood, blood serum, urine, bile, gastric juice, biological tissues, hair), natural and wastewater, pharmaceuticals and agricultural products. This approach allows us to expand the range of available analyzes both for assessing the quality of products and for functional diagnostics of the human and animal organisms.

For assessing the elemental composition, the samples are transferred to a liquid state with the complete destruction of organic and inorganic compounds without loss of the test material using acid mineralization (under the action of high temperatures and constant pressure).

The main characteristics of the method: rapidity, high accuracy of the obtained results, environmental friendliness, versatility, a wide range of determined elements.

Over the past 10 years, the Institute has carried out a number of international contracts and agreements within the framework of the Framework Programs of the European Union, as well as with leading research centers, foundations, societies:
