Infrastructure
The unique concept of EUNCL as a multi-competence service center offers a comprehensive and sophisticated portfolio of assay covering fields from chemical/physical to in vitro/in vivo characterization of promising nanomaterials. The tired characterization process is coordinated by a manager who also facilitates the communication with the sponsor.
