Clinical Trials

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.
