Laboratories for Practicals

Evaluating electrochemical parameters – pH meter and Conductometer

pH and conductivity are vital parameters to calculate the acidity and the basicity of a substance while observing the level of nutrients, salts or impurities present. pH and conductivity measures are used in various applications, including boiler maintenance, agriculture and aquariums and aquaculture.

Estimation of compounds by Spectrophotometer and Chromatogram

The spectrophotometry process involves measuring light intensity as a ray of light travels through a sample solution to determine how much a chemical compound absorbs light. The basic principle is that every compound absorbs or transmits light over a specific range of wavelengths.

By comparing each peak's retention time with that of injected reference standards in the same chromatographic system [same mobile and stationary phase], a chromatograph may be able to identify each compound.

Determining viscosity constants of organic liquids – Viscometer

A Viscometer is an instrument for measuring a fluid's viscosity (resistance to internal flow). In one version, the time for an offered fluid volume to flow through an opening is recorded.

Department Activities

Visit

As part of their project, students studying Clinical Research paid a visit to Civil Hospital Asarwa. They took the opportunity to explore various sections of the hospital, learning about real-world medical practices and patient care directly. This experience offered them a close-up look at “how things work in a healthcare setting” adding practical knowledge to their studies.
