Diagnostiki Athinon Diagnostic Center provides a broad range of advanced analytical services suitable for use in clinical research protocols, pilot trials, nutritional intervention studies, and R&D projects. Our testing capabilities are based on certified procedures, validated methods, and scientifically grounded applications, executed in a well-equipped laboratory environment.
We can act as a central laboratory or offer specialized analytical support within collaborative studies involving CROs, academic institutions, or pharma sponsors.
Main Areas of Laboratory Testing
Immunological Testing (ELISA, CLIA, Immunofluorescence)
- Protein quantification, cytokine profiling, and inflammatory markers
- Cardiometabolic biomarkers: IL-6, TNF-α, Galectin-3, Pro-C3, NGAL, Adiponectin
- Hormones, autoantibodies, and infectious agents via CLIA and fluorescent techniques
Molecular Diagnostics (qPCR, RT-qPCR, DNA/RNA Extraction, NGS)
- Gene expression analysis
- Detection of pharmacogenomic variants (e.g., CYP450, TPMT, SLCO1B1)
- Sample preparation for Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) workflows
Microbiome & Metabolite Testing
- Measurement of SCFAs, zonulin, histamine, and intestinal barrier markers
- Supports clinical research in gut health, inflammation, and metabolic function
- Based on GC-MS, ELISA, and targeted metabolic panels
Chromatographic Techniques (HPLC, GC-MS)
- Quantification of vitamins, amino acids, pharmaceuticals, and micronutrients
- Analysis of VOCs, toxins, and metabolic by-products
- Suitable for nutritional research, toxicology, and method development studies
Microbiological Testing
- Bacterial and fungal cultures from blood, stool, urine, or other clinical materials
- Microscopy (Gram stain, fluorescent microscopy)
- PCR-based pathogen detection
- Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (disk diffusion)
- Suitable for dysbiosis assessment, infection monitoring, or microbial profiling
Hematology & Basic Biochemistry
- Complete blood count, coagulation tests, hemoglobin electrophoresis
- Spectrophotometric and enzymatic assays (UV-Vis, fluorometry)
Application Areas in Clinical Protocols
These testing services are suitable for:
- Biomarker-driven clinical trials
- Pharmacogenomics and gene expression studies
- Nutritional and metabolic research
- Microbiome analysis and gastrointestinal health
- Pilot studies and protocol validation projects
We provide comprehensive documentation, including a Certificate of Analysis (CoA), internal quality control (QC), and options for method validation and method transfer, in collaboration with the sponsor or research team.
