List of equipment

Our laboratory has a wide range of equipment to support basic research in different disciplines. The laboratory provides analytical, formulation/preformulation and quality control support to the school of pharmacy faculty and their researchers. It also provides support to other University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ faculties, various external faculties and pharmaceutical companies. Below is a list of some of the equipment that we have to support our research work.
