We promote the development of advanced bio-logging and remote sensing devices for studying animal ecology (e.g. GPS sensors for radio-telemetry or proximity, camera-traps), data management and analysis, and the customization of solutions for several applicative scenarios.

We can perform highly sensitive monitoring of volatile compounds by direct-injection mass-spectrometry, gas chromatography and spectroscopy, using high-throughput, real-time online analysis and in-vivo measurements.

We conceive new or improved fermented food products for their organoleptic properties, technological processing, or nutritional characteristics; we also study the biodiversity, maintenance and enhancement of food microbiomes.

We host state-of-the-art instrumentation to conduct microfluidic and microscopy studies in multidisciplinary fields to support collaborative research projects.

We use of remote sensing data to estimate plant traits of forest and grassland vegetation. Activities range from leaf scale to regional scale, combining ground-based measurements with aerial and satellite platform data.

We offer studies with the main sensory techniques conducted with trained and consumer panels (discriminate, descriptive, hedonic tests), and rapid and dynamic innovative methods in combination with in vitro instrumental analyses of food and in vivo analyses during consumption.

We provide analytical services for water analysis and chemical profiling of cyanobacterial toxins. All methods are based on reference protocols (IRSA-CNR and Standard Methods) and the quality is ensured by internal and external procedures (intercalibrations).

We offer an array of services focusing on Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance using state of the art instrumentation that have applications to food, agriculture, nutrition, ecology, environment, forensic, archeology, paleo-climatology, and hydrology sciences.

We provide routine plant tissue culture services and advanced biotechnological applications for woody fruit trees, in particular grapevine and apple, supporting both plant biology research and traditional breeding.

This state-of-the-art automated RGB and hyperspectral high-throughput phenotyping platform has controlled conditions for temperature, humidity, and light type and intensity, with an automatic irrigation and weighing system for plants up to 1.3 m in height.
