- Pesticide measurement in environmental and biological samples (e.g. paraquat, propoxur, chlorpyrifos) (hospitals and community)
- Analysis by Atomic Absorption (requested by hospitals)
- Measurement of metals in biological samples, namely copper and iron in liver biopsy fragments for the unequivocal characterization and monitoring of Wilson's disease and hemochromatosis, respectively.
- Measurement of various metals in biological samples.
