This is Pharmaceutical Analysis lab which is well equipped with supplicated and modern instruments that are being used on daily basis in Pharmaceutical and Biotechnological companies, Environmental agencies and related sectors. In this lab, you can see Disintegration & Dissolution apparatus, IR spectroscopy, HPLC & UPLC and GCMS. Both Pharmaceutical Science and Chemistry students do their lab experiments in this lab.

After taking a tablet like paracetamol, you might wonder how long it does take to start its action. So, disintegration apparatus is used to determine the time required to disintegrate (break down) a tablet into particles whilst dissolution apparatus is used to determine the time required by such particles to go into solution just before its absorption from gut. Pharmaceutical Science students in their 2nd year do their lab experiments using these instruments.

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) are used for the analysis (both qualitative and quantitative) of drugs. UPLC is more efficient which requires only 1-3 min to run a sample. Both Pharmaceutical Science and Chemistry students in their 3rd year do their lab experiments using these instruments.

Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) is another equipment to analyse volatile and thermostable (stable at high temperature) drugs. Both Pharmaceutical Science and Chemistry students in their 3rd year do their lab experiments using this instrument.

In the Pharmacology laboratory students use pharmaceutical industry standard organ bath set ups to learn on the effect of drugs on biological molecules and on drug-to-drug interactions. These exciting laboratory practicals are key learning components in the pharmacology modules, which enable students to develop laboratory competency, sound knowledge in pharmacology and to develop transferrable skills.   

We were awarded a £1.2 million grant from the Higher Education Funding Council for England to build a new high-tech super-lab.
