Expertise

Services

From lab services to custom builds — our expertise in BAL/UPE and PEF translated into actionable outcomes.

Measurement-as-a-Service (MaaS)

We run ultra-weak photon emission (UPE/BAL) measurements on your samples in our light-tight systems.

Use cases: oxidative-stress screening, antioxidant efficacy, shelf-life, QC. Deliverables: raw counts, statistics, interpretation report.

Real-Time Electroporation Monitoring (PEF)

Label-free BAL monitoring during pulsed-electric-field treatment to track permeabilization efficiency.

Why it matters: real-time indicators without fouling sensors.

PEF-Induced Oxidation Assays

Quantify PEF-generated ROS and downstream protein oxidation via endogenous (bio)chemiluminescence.

Outcomes: map safe/efficient PEF windows, compare electrodes/materials.

In Vivo / Ex Vivo BAL Imaging

High-sensitivity imaging to map spatial oxidative processes and antioxidant protection.

Deliverables: EMCCD images, ROI statistics, PMT kinetics, interpretation memo.

Fermentation & Bioprocess Monitoring

Track oxidative metabolism in cultures via BAL alongside pH/pO2/OD to define stress and process indices.

Use cases: phase transition detection, stress assessment, on-line process monitoring.

Seeds, Plants & Stress Phenotyping

Non-invasive BAL assays for germination vigor, stress tolerance, and treatment effects.

Applications: seed tech, agronomy, plant physiology R&D.

Data Analytics & Signal Processing

Bespoke pipelines: Poisson/negative-binomial modeling, variance-aware detrending, Fano/Hurst metrics.

Benefits: correct statistics for UPE signals and robust decision thresholds.

Custom Instrumentation & Dark-Chamber Builds

Turnkey PMT integration, optics, spectral filters, and low-reflectance chambers with feedthroughs.

Scope: from benchtop retrofits to bespoke enclosures and OEM modules.

Typical Deliverables

  • Protocol & hardware plan (detector, optics, chamber)
  • Data package (raw counts, pre-processed series, fitted distributions)
  • Decision metrics (PEF efficiency index, antioxidant protection factor)
  • Short interpretation memo with next-step recommendations
