The Institutes of the Slovak Academy of Sciences (SAS) offer interested parties from both the corporate and public sectors a wide range of one-off professional services based on their cutting-edge research and long-standing experience. These include analyses, measurements, assessments, solution proposals, feasibility verification, and expert consultations.
These services are provided on the basis of individual agreements and can be used by companies as well as public and state institutions seeking a reliable partner with access to modern laboratory equipment and expertise in various scientific fields.
The SAS Technology Transfer Office (TTO SAS):
- will advise you on which consulting service offered by SAS organizations is suitable for addressing your request,
- will verify the current workload and availability of the service,
- will connect you with the department of the relevant SAS organization that provides the service,
- will be available, if needed, to help resolve any questions that may arise during the provision of the service.
Please contact the SAS Technology Transfer Office if you are interested in any of the services listed below.
The current list of available services is continuously updated according to the offerings of individual SAS institutes:
Preparation of MoOx and MoS₂ nanoparticles by liquid-phase exfoliation
The output consists of stable colloidal aqueous dispersions of MoOx or MoS₂ nanoparticles with narrow size distribution. Suitable for biomedical applications such as drug-free photothermal therapy or drug carriers.
Production of audiovisual outputs based on social data
Creation of audiovisual content based on social science data for publication as audiovisual works, such as films or exhibitions.
Production of specialty carbohydrates
Production of rare sugars, intermediates, and enzymatic substrates from milligrams to kilograms for commercial purposes; applications in pharma and food industry.
Protein purification
Production and purification of proteins from recombinant bacteria.
Quality control of APIs
Testing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) for certification of content and compliance for pharmaceutical companies and their suppliers.
Quantification of microbiota and antibiotic phenotype profiling of isolated bacterial strains
Microbiological analysis of biological samples (e.g., feces, food) using ISO-standard microbiological methods. Identification and quantification of bacterial genera and determination of antibiotic susceptibility profiles (resistant vs. sensitive). Intended primarily for animal production, but applicable also in human medicine.
Social data analysis for product development and sales
Analysis of social data to support product development and sales based on research into everyday life, lifestyles, and client practices; includes analysis of cultural symbols and representations.
Structural analysis and characterization of organic compounds
Structural elucidation for R&D laboratories in organic synthesis (namely university laboratories and clinics); applications in medical, biological, industrial, and agricultural sample analysis; useful in rare disease diagnostics and identification of methods for rare disease diagnostics.
Surface morphology measurement using AFM
3D topographic imaging of materials at the nanoscale; assessment of roughness, hardness, adhesion, and other surface properties.
Surface treatment of metals by electrochemical methods
Cleaning, polishing, etching, electrochemical texturing, electroplating, and corrosion protection.
