Chemistry Department Laboratory Facilities
Teaching Laboratories
Chemistry Teaching Laboratories: J502, J506, J507, and J509
All chemistry teaching laboratories are equipped with fume hoods, lecture area, and other laboratory necessities (e.g. eyewash, safety showers, fire extinguishers, first aid kit). They are capable of accommodating general science, general chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry and analytical chemistry laboratory courses.
Special glassware for these courses are stored in the stockrooms (J508 and/or J503) and are dispensed as needed. Special instruments/ equipment are stationed at the Instrument room (SJ511/512). They are available when needed and are being maintained by the chemistry department Academic Service Faculty (ASF). The maximum number of students that can be accommodated in a teaching laboratory is twenty-four.
General Science Laboratories: SJ304, SJ305, SJ306, SJ311, and SJ312
These laboratory rooms are mainly used in general science laboratory courses. They are also equipped with fume hoods, lecture area, and other laboratory necessities (e.g. eyewash, safety showers, fire extinguishers, first aid kit).
Stockrooms: SJ503, SJ505, and SJ508
The bulk of chemicals/solvents stock for teaching laboratories is stored at J505. The preparation of different solutions/reagents used in the different laboratory courses are done at J508. Dispensing of these chemicals, special glassware and other materials are done at J508 and/or J503.
Instrument Rooms (SJ511/512)
The instrument rooms house the main analytical instruments including a benchtop 80 MHz NMR spectrometer, Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS), Gas Chromatograph-Flame Ionization Detector (GC-FID), thermogravimetric analyzer, high performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC), atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS), bomb calorimeter, Fourier Transform infrared spectrometer, UV-Vis spectrophotometers, and various instruments for sample preparation. The equipment are regularly checked to ensure proper maintenance or repair.
Glass-Blowing Room: J615B
This room is used for doing minor repairs of broken glassware.
