Synthesis & Formulation Laboratory

The Synthesis and Formulation Laboratory is a facility designed for the development, optimization, and production of chemical and pharmaceutical compounds. This lab plays a vital role in supporting research and innovation of transforming raw materials into functional compounds / usable chemical entities through synthesis, and then converting these entities into final products through formulation. It is commonly used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, polymer, agricultural, and chemical industries. Common activities in this laboratory are such as synthesis of small molecules and active ingredients, emulsion, suspension, gel, and cream / lotion formulation, homogenization and stability studies. There are various range of equipment for synthesis and formulation use such as fume hoods, magnetic stirrers, hotplates, soxhlets, rotary evaporators, vacuum filtration systems, freeze dryers, vacuum pumps, mixers and homogenizers, grinders and blenders, pH meters, incubators and shakers.
