ANSTO's research capabilities, led by the OPAL nuclear research reactor and associated instruments provide access to users investigating areas as diverse as materials, life sciences, climate change and mining/engineering.
Bio-analytics
Bio-analysis can mean different things to different people: at ANSTO LifeSciences we measure metabolites and endogenous compounds in biological fluids and analyse biologically active compounds, often using radio-tracers.
Bio-analytical techniques can be used to monitor occupational and environmental exposure to chemicals by determining concentrations in biofluids, food or environmental samples, they can be used in forensic toxicology, and in therapeutic drug monitoring.
Prof Richard Banati leads our research in Bio-analytics, with support from our researchers in cell, radiation, and molecular biology.
