About us
A biomedical company born from research
Biosfer Teslab was founded in 2013 as a spin-off of the Universitat Rovira i Virgili and the Institut de Recerca Biomèdica Catalunya Sud (IRB CatSud). We carry out nuclear magnetic resonance measurements, develop our own digital tools and analyse clinical and molecular data for four areas: research and clinical trials, clinical practice, health and longevity, and sport.
From a scientific question to a biomedical platform
Biosfer Teslab was created to translate scientific knowledge into solutions that answer real biomedical questions. In our early years, we focused on nuclear magnetic resonance and advanced lipoprotein characterisation. From that base, the continuous development of new scientific and technological capabilities has turned us into a platform that brings together analytical technologies, bioinformatics, data analysis and our own digital tools. Today we support each project from the definition of the analytical strategy and the analysis of the sample to the interpretation of the results, their scientific publication and decision support.

The origins of Biosfer Teslab
Biosfer Teslab is founded to translate research in nuclear magnetic resonance into analytical services and in vitro diagnostic solutions for the study of metabolism.

From research to practice
The development of LipoScale® turns knowledge of lipoproteins into an advanced tool to characterise their lipid composition, particle number and size. It is Biosfer Teslab’s first major step in bringing an innovation born in research into scientific and clinical settings.

Broadening the molecular footprint
NMR profiling extends its scope with glycoproteins, lipid families and low-molecular-weight metabolites, alongside increasingly integrated data analysis models. Biosfer Teslab thus evolves from an advanced test into a broader metabolomics platform.

From the laboratory to personal follow-up
The development of MetBalance® summarises metabolic status as a score and percentiles from the NMR profile. Metabolomics thus reaches health and longevity professionals as a tool to follow each person’s progress.

One science, different settings
Today we apply the same scientific basis in four settings: research and clinical trials, clinical practice, health and longevity, and sports performance. Each raises different questions and decisions; all share the same analytical rigour.
Explore the four areas
Science, technology and experience in one team
A multidisciplinary team of PhDs, doctoral researchers and laboratory specialists, with backgrounds in physics, biochemistry, biotechnology, chemistry, bioinformatics, data science, engineering and quality management. As well as measuring and analysing, we interpret the results and publish them with research groups and clinical teams.
