At the Natural Prebiotic and Probiotic Investment (NPPI) Co. LLc. This infrastructure is essential for
analyzing natural ingredients, evaluating their prebiotic potential, and formulating innovative health
solutions. Although specific equipment lists are proprietary, our capabilities are based on the types of
instrumentation commonly employed in biotechnology, food science, and health research, as evidenced by 22 the methodologies outlined in the associated documents. Our expertise and potential access to equipment typically encompass the following :
1. Analytical Chemistry Equipment
- Analytical Equipment: Used for precise compound separation, identification, and quantification, including HPLC for non-volatile compounds, GC for volatile substances, spectrophotometers (UV-Vis) for concentration measurements, Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) for chemical structure identification, pH meters/titrators for acidity control, and Atomic Absorption/Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy (AAS/ICP) for elemental analysis.
- Microbiology and Fermentation Equipment: Essential for microbial cultivation and process scaling. This equipment includes incubators/shakers for controlled growth, Anaerobic Chambers for oxygen-sensitive organisms, autoclaves for sterilization, bioreactors/fermenters for optimized production, and centrifuges for component separation.
- Molecular Biology and Genomics Equipment: Employed for genetic analysis and microbial profiling, featuring Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR) machines for DNA quantification, DNA/RNA Extraction Kits for nucleic acid isolation, and Sequencing Platforms for comprehensive microbial community analysis.
- General Laboratory Equipment: Foundational tools such as Balances, Water Baths, Ovens, Homogenizers, Sonicators for sample preparation, and various microscopes (Light, Phase Contrast, Electron) for detailed visual inspection and ultra-high-resolution imaging.
