Clinical & Laboratory Services
Food Safety & Contaminants: Extensive multi-residue screening for pesticides, mycotoxins (Aflatoxins, DON, etc.), plant alkaloids, dioxins, PCBs, and PAHs.
Food Quality & Shelf-Life: Microbiological analysis, oxidation markers for fats and oils (Peroxide, TOTOX, p-Anisidine values), osmolality, and controlled shelf-life stability studies.
Packaging & Label Compliance: Biodegradation testing, packaging water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), and nutritional label verification.
Baby Products & Toy Safety: Strict EU-compliant screening for phthalates, BPA, nitrosamines, silicone volatile components, and element migration (EN 71-3).
Medical Device Testing: ISO and ASTM-compliant assessments including accelerated aging (shelf-life), antibacterial surface activity, bacterial endotoxins (LAL), and hemolysis potential.
Nanomaterial Analysis: ELISA-based allergen and gluten detection, advanced nanomaterial characterization (SEM-EDX, TEM, DLS), and barrier efficacy.
Core Services (In Vitro Efficacy)
Immune Response & Functional Efficacy Testing (In Vitro)
Evaluation of how food ingredients, functional foods, probiotics, and bioactive compounds interact with the immune system using validated cell-based assays.
Macrophage Activation & Function Analysis
Assessment of macrophage activity, including phagocytosis, oxidative response, and immune signaling, to understand immune stimulation or modulation effects.
Inflammatory & Anti-Inflammatory Profiling
Identification of pro-inflammatory (M1) and anti-inflammatory (M2) immune responses through marker analysis, cytokine profiling, and polarization studies.
Cytokine & Immune Marker Analysis
Multiplex measurement of cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors to characterize immune responses and support functional or health-related positioning.
Cell Viability & Safety Screening
Evaluation of cytotoxicity and cellular tolerance to ensure ingredient safety and suitability for food and supplement applications.
Gene & Protein Expression Studies
Analysis of immune-related gene and protein expression to support mechanism-of-action understanding and scientific substantiation.
Inflammasome & Immune Pathway Assessment
Detection of key immune pathways (e.g. inflammasome activation, NF-κB signaling) relevant for inflammation and immune balance claims.
Customized Study Design for Regulatory & Market Needs
Tailored testing strategies aligned with regulatory expectations in Korea (MFDS), EU, and US, supporting product registration, dossiers, and claims substantiation.
