Who we are
The DIACRON group has been involved in research and diagnostics in the human, veterinary and agri-food sectors for more than 30 years. It includes Diacron International, which deals with research and methods for oxidative balance assessment, and Diacron Labs for the agri-food sector.
DIACRON was created by Mauro Carratelli (hence the name of the CARR unit of measurement) with the aim of measuring oxidation processes, which are responsible for ageing. His research led to the development of innovative measurement methods for evaluating oxidative stress and agro-food parameters. Through its tests and instruments, DIACRON has made the monitoring of oxidative and antioxidative agents usable to a wide class of professionals working in Research and Medicine, as well as in the agri-food sector.
Confirming the company’s know-how, there are now more than 1800 scientific studies in which DIACRON tests are used. A distinguishing feature is the scientific and technical assistance that the company offers to all its customers. Today DIACRON is the official supplier of the most prestigious research centres, laboratories and medical specialists in Italy and worldwide for the evaluation of oxidative balance. In the agri-food sector, its customers include oil producers of excellence, oil mills, wineries and cosmetics companies.
Furthermore, the DIACRON group is ISO 13485:2016 certified, which guarantees the production of safe and effective medical devices, and ISO 9001:2015, which guarantees the design and manufacture of products according to the highest quality standards.
