Products and services

The platforms of the EVA department offer their competences for diverse analyses:

• Proteomics platform (analysis of samples, electrophoreses, analysis by Maldi-Tof, separation of proteins, identification of proteins, etc.);
• Chemistry platform (analysis of environmental, plant, food samples);
• Geomatics platform (support for remote sensing, GIS and statistics, analysis of geographical observation, implementation of a geographic database, environmental modelling, etc.);
• Analysis of chemical pollution in surface and ground water bodies;
• Environmental modelling (hydrology, hydraulics, air quality, etc.);
• Biogas (analysis of substrates, biogas composition and digestates, on-site sampling, etc.);
• Environmental quality assessment with the help of bioindicators, toxicological in vitro and in vivo tests.

The department also offers in-service training courses.
