Our neurobiochemistry lab has among its principal analytic tools, a high resolution chromatography that allows the quantification of small concentrations of varied molecules – endogenic and exogenic – present in different fluids and biologic tissues.

This technology is used in the measurement of anti-convulsive pharmacology in the patients’ serum, who use this type of medication, allowing the clinician to adjust doses. Anti-convulsives, whose concentration is possible to be evaluated at this lab are: carbamazepin, phenitoin (convulsive o 5,5 –diphenilhydantoin) and Phenobarbital.

This lab also performs studies of amino-biogenics and its catabolites in serum, cephalorachideal liquid and tissue, as well as the oxidative stress system and enzymes that Prevent harm. Another aspect is the purification of NGF Murine.
