Laboratories

Facilities are available in the pharmaceutics laboratories for the development of various conventional solid, liquid and semisolid dosage forms; including tablets, capsules, syrups, suspensions, emulsions, ointments, creams and gels.

Students studying pharmaceutics will be thoroughly exposed to the fundamentals of Industrial Pharmacy, Cosmetics and cosmeceuticals and trained in several specialized areas, including

• Formulation and development of Topical Dosage forms.
• Novel drug delivery systems
• Nanotechnology

The laboratories are well equipped to train students in practical concepts and in research in the area of Inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, Medicinal chemistry, Biochemistry and phyto chemistry.

Facilities are available for pursuing research in the area of

• molecular modeling
• synthesis of novel lead molecules
• microwave synthesis
• isolation of phytochemicals from plants

Effects of various drugs on animal models will be demonstrated in pharmacology laboratories using mice, rats, guinea pigs and rabbits.

Handling of animals and experiments on preclinical studies will be carried out majorly in Pharmacology laboratories.

Facilities in Pharmacognosy laboratories are provide for the students to acquire skills in learning morphological and microscopical characters of natural drugs using, compound microscope, dissection microscope & projection microscope. Students are trained in different types of extraction, separation, purification and identification of individual components present in plants.

Sophisticated Chromatographic and Spectroscopic techniques are available in the department to pursue research traditional system of medicine.

Standardization of herbal drugs is also being carried out by the students in this department.

Pharmaceutical analysis provides a variety of functions, often practically to identify and quantify the chemical composition of components present in reactive intermediate, drug formulations and natural drug formulations. The department has state-of-art infrastructural facilities with sophisticated analytical instruments like UV- Visible spectrophotometer, FT-IR, Gas chromatography, HPLC and HPTLC.

The students will have extensive practical hands-on training in basic molecular biology techniques including maintenance of aseptic condition, preparation of media, sterilization, inoculation techniques, incubation process, isolation and cultivation of microbial culture, staining techniques, biochemical tests used to identify microbes, fermentation techniques, estimation of proteins, isolation of nucleic acids, electrophoresis, PCR, ELISA and anti-microbial activity studies etc.

The Human anatomy and physiology laboratory has the provision for the students to learn about the structure and functions of human body. This laboratory and adjunct museum facilitates study of anatomy in the bodily systems using various models, charts, the dissection of specimens. Additionally, the lab also has the capacity for investigation of physiological functionality through experimentation using haemometer, haemocytometer, sphygmomanometer and spirometer, which can measure cardiovascular and pulmonary responses. This laboratory helps to acquire knowledge of the human body’s systems, the interdependence of these systems, and how these systems respond to exercise, diet, physical inactivity, disease, and aging.

The Modern Sophisticated Analytical Instrumentation Facility, at our institution has been created with an objective of providing all analytical facility under one roof in order to enable for the scientific community to work in various areas of science and technology. Modern Analytical Instrumentation Facility hosts various sophisticated instruments which provide the need of cutting-edge research in many areas of modern science and technology. It also provides its users, an extensive range of analytical methods/techniques for pharmaceutical, chemical analysis, pharmacological screening and natural product characterization facility.
