The confocal microscope allows us to visualize images with different fluorescent labelling, therefore obtaining images of great sharpness and quality because the pictures earned are not contaminated by light emitted outside the focal plane. Thanks to this confocal characteristic, we can perform three-dimensional reconstructions from optical sections.

Ability to address the DNA sequencing of genetic material from any organism using both traditional sequencing techniques (Sanger sequencing) as Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS).

Equipment that determines and quantifies the fluorescence of fluorescent probes attached to different parts of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, organelles, proteins. The emitted fluorescence is collected on different filters limited to a certain wavelength. Fluorescence quantification is associated with the cell parameter being measured, generating quantitative results such as fluorescence intensity, percentage of cell populations, cell count/ML.

Fluorescence is one of the most widely used physical phenomena in biological and analytical microscopy, mainly because of its high degree of sensitivity and specificity. Fluorescence microscopy allows users to determine the distribution of a single molecule, its quantity and its location within a cell.

Fluorescence microscopes used in research applications are based on a series of optical filters. The filters are usually inserted in a filter block. While the excitation filter selects the wavelengths that excite a particular fluorophore within the sample, the emission filter acts as a kind of quality control, as it only allows the wavelengths of interest emitted by the fluorophore to pass through.

The Massarray platform is responsible for the research study of biological samples through the fine mapping of DNA sequences and the analysis of methylation phenomena. With this equipment, dozens of DNA variants such as SNPs, insertions or deletions can be analysed in hundreds of samples in a short time with a high degree of precision and sensitivity. It is also possible to analyse somatic mutations such as those present in samples of cancerous origin. Finally, the degree of methylation of individual CpGs in short DNA sequences can be quantitatively quantified.

Application of molecular phylogenetic inference methods to sequence data from ultra-sequencing to the determination of new genomes.

Real-time PCR is a technique that combines amplification and detection in a single step by correlating the PCR product of each cycle with a fluorescence intensity signal. They consist of a thermal cycler coupled to an optical system, which monitors the signal of the fluorophores used to detect the amplified product. Because the fluorescence of the fluorophores increases as the product is amplified, the amplification and detection processes are combined in a single step.

Laboratory with high-tech biomechanical tools and an important team of psychiatrists and psychologists making functional and neurocognitive assessments by offering three services:

1. Neurocognitive Assessment: clinical and comprehensive neurocognitive assessments are carried out and the affected people as well their relatives are treated in order to guarantee a quality and independent life.
2. Biomechanical Assessment of Human Functions: it provides objective and quantitative information on functional repercussions of a pathology in a person’s activities and functions, becoming an additional tool for health workers in the control of functional deficiencies of the musculoskeletal system.
3. Gaze monitoring system (TOBII): it allows the recording and analysis of the gaze which can be used as an assessment and rehabilitation tool. Providing information in various fields of knowledge as an interpretation of human behaviour.
