Organisation profile
Nanoimmunotech is the first European company in the Nanobiotechnology sector, dedicated to the
biological and biological characterization (in vivo and in vitro) and physico-chemical characterization and
to the conjugation (functionalization) of nanoparticles and products containing them.
The company has highly qualified and internationally recognized human resources, state-of-the-art
laboratory capabilities, standardized protocols and finally, the know how to perform proper supervision,
advice and validation of different nanosystems, as a first step to the previous use of nanoparticles in
biotechnological applications for different sectors (biomedical, pharmaceutics, cosmetics, veterinary,
agro-food, environmental, etc.).
Main capacities in nanotechnology/nanoscience
nitcharacter : Physico-chemical characterization of nanosystems:
This service allows developing a complete physico-chemical characterization of nanomaterials, taking
into account the different particularities of each case. For each application, nitcharacter will give to its
customers the information they need to improve the process of synthesis and/or chemical
functionalization of their nanomaterials. Nitcharacter offers a structural characterization (NMR, IR, EM,
MALDI, XRD, XPS), and microscopy techniques (TEM, SEM, SEM/FIB, AFM, confocal) and also
chromatography techniques (GC, MPLC, HPLC, GPC).
nitcharacter services not only consist in executing the physico-chemical measures of products, but also
on the added value that it offers to its customers through the interpretation of results and advices given to
improve the synthesis and properties of nanostructured materials.
nitbiosafe : Biological (in vitro and in vivo) characterization of nanosystems:
This service allows performing a full set of in vitro and in vivo assays to check the risks of our customers’
nanomaterials: toxicity, biocompatibility (hemo- and cytotoxicity), biodistribution, immunogenicity, sterility,
among other assays. Nitbiosafe services are based on standardized protocols and experimental
environments that ensure optimal laboratory results, implementing USA recommendations and all EU
regulation regarding nanosafety. Nanoimmunotech also counts with an animal facility that allows the use
of animal models for in vivo confirmation of nanotoxicity and immunogenicity, offering the ultimate
