Service of industrial biotechnology: for the companies of the chemical sector and fine chemicals

Picture of Service of industrial biotechnology
The Institut Universitari of Ciència i Tecnologia (IUCT) account between his services with one allocated to the industrial biotechnology for the companies of the chemical sector and fine chemicals through a multidisciplinary team composed by organic chemists, microbiólogos, genetic engineers, analytical chemists and experts in purification.

The industrial biotechnology applies for the obtaining of products quirales, for products via chemical synthesis that require a lot of steps of synthesis and in products of natural origin of production limited.

The service of industrial biotechnology that offers the IUCT works in the areas of development more important like processes biotecnológicos for chemical products of big tonelaje and of fine chemicals; obtaining of new enzymes like biocatalizadores industrial for fine and big chemicals productions, development of minimum and artificial microorganisms-synthetic biology; microbial genomics and bioinformática; engineering and modelado metabolic, operation and optimisation of biocatalizadores; and design of processes biocatalíticos.

This service specialises in technicians like the studies of sequence of DNA and amino acids; cloning with wide spectrum of vectors; creation of proteins of fusion, cloning of cells guest procariotas and eukaryotic; constitutive expressesion and induced of proteins in cells guest; set-up of reactions of biotransformación by means of microorganisms or parts purificadas of these; development of fermentations; purification and identification of products or metabolites; and design of Primers.
