Laboratori

 

The Halal Products Research Institute offers researchers the opportunity to explore recent biological science and biotechnology with state-of-art and sophisticated facilities as well as with the numbers of professional staff to deliver the best services and assistance.

 

Biosafety Cabinet
Functions of Biosafety Cabinet (BSC) 
  1. Protects the user (personnel)
    Prevents exposure to harmful biological agents (bacteria, viruses, aerosols).
  2. Protects the sample/product
    Maintains a sterile working environment to avoid contamination.
  3. Protects the environment
    Filters and prevents hazardous particles from being released into the lab.
  4. Controls airflow
    Uses HEPA-filtered air to ensure clean, directional airflow inside the cabinet.
Gas chromatography mass spectrometer
Functions of GC-MS 
  1. Separates chemical compounds
    Gas chromatography separates mixtures into individual components based on volatility.
  2. Identifies compounds
    Mass spectrometry detects and identifies compounds by their unique mass spectra.
  3. Quantifies substances
    Measures the concentration of specific compounds in a sample.
  4. Analyzes complex mixtures
    Useful for analyzing environmental samples, food, pharmaceuticals, and forensic samples.
  5. Detects trace-level compounds
    Highly sensitive—can detect very small amounts of chemicals.
Rotary Evaporator
Functions of Rotary Evaporator
  1. Removes solvents efficiently
    Evaporates solvents from samples using reduced pressure (vacuum) and gentle heating.
  2. Concentrates samples
    Increases the concentration of desired compounds by removing excess solvent.
  3. Performs low-temperature evaporation
    Allows evaporation at lower temperatures, protecting heat-sensitive compounds.
  4. Improves evaporation speed
    Rotation increases surface area, speeding up the evaporation process.
  5. Solvent recovery
    Condenses and collects evaporated solvent for reuse.
Fumehood
Functions of Fume Hood 
  1. Protects the user from hazardous fumes
    Removes toxic vapors, gases, and aerosols from the working area.
  2. Improves laboratory safety
    Reduces exposure to dangerous chemicals during experiments.
  3. Controls airflow and ventilation
    Draws contaminated air away from the user and expels it safely.
  4. Prevents inhalation of harmful substances
    Ensures that chemical fumes do not enter the breathing zone.
  5. Provides a controlled working environment
    Suitable for handling volatile, corrosive, or toxic substances.
-80 and -20 freezer

Functions of Freezers

 -80°C Freezer (Ultra-Low Temperature Freezer)

  1. Long-term sample storage
    Stores biological samples such as DNA, RNA, proteins, and microorganisms for extended periods.
  2. Preserves sample integrity
    Extremely low temperature slows down enzymatic activity and degradation.
  3. Prevents microbial growth
    Inhibits bacteria and fungi from growing.
  4. Used for sensitive research materials
    Suitable for vaccines, cell cultures, and clinical samples.
 -Freezer -20°C
  1. Short- to medium-term storage
    Used for storing reagents, enzymes, and samples for shorter durations.
  2. Maintains stability of materials
    Helps preserve chemicals and biological substances.
  3. Prevents degradation
    Slows down chemical reactions and biological breakdown.
  4. Common lab storage
    Widely used for everyday laboratory needs.
Chiller

Functions of Chiller 

  1. Controls and maintains temperature
    Keeps equipment or samples at a stable, low temperature during experiments.
  2. Removes excess heat
    Absorbs and dissipates heat generated by instruments such as lasers, reactors, or analytical equipment.
  3. Provides continuous cooling
    Circulates coolant (usually water or glycol mixture) to ensure consistent cooling performance.
  4. Improves equipment performance
    Prevents overheating, ensuring instruments operate efficiently and accurately.
  5. Enhances experiment stability
    Maintains constant conditions, which is critical for reproducible scientific results.
