The laboratories are well equipped with modern instruments and other infrastructure required for day-to-day practical training. Every student is given individual attention and the infrastructure is sufficient to cater to individual requirements. A few of our major laboratories are:


  • Pharmaceutical Chemistry Lab is meant for test and identification of impurities; synthesis and purification of chemical compounds; analysis of biological samples like urine, blood etc.

  • Medicinal Chemistry Lab is meant for synthesis, purification and identification of medicinally active compounds.

  • Pharmaceutical Analysis Lab is suitable for analysis, quality assessment and quality control studies of drugs on finished products.

  • Pharmacognosy Lab is involved in providing the basic skills to the students, required to identify the crude drugs and adulterants with the help of conventional and advanced analytical techniques. The lab is also suitable for the extraction, isolation, purification and characterisation of natural compounds from medicinal plants and for conducting plant tisssue culture. The lab is equipped with modern instruments like Rotary Evaporator (Buchi Type),Infrared Moisture Balance, Muffle Furnace, B.O.D. Incubator,Refrigerated Microcentrifuge, Sonicator, Plant Tissue Culture Station, Laminar Air Flow Station etc. The Laboratory also houses more than 150 of rarest crude drugs sample.

  • Pharmacology Lab In-vitro and in-vivo studies of the pharmacological effect of drugs and their extract on experimental animals are conducted. It is also suitable for conducting bioassays for determining the strength of the drugs. The lab is most suitable for the purpose of screening of new drug molecules for pharmacological and side effects of drugs.

  • Pharmaceutics Lab is suitable for carrying out activities pertaining to formulation and evaluation of various pharmaceuticals dosage forms. It is also suitable for developing novel drug delivery system, controlled released formulations, stability studies and accelerated stability studies of pharmaceutical dosage forms.

  • Pharmaceutical Microbiology laboratory with its attached aseptic room as per GLP guide lines is suitable for preparation and sterilization of culture media both for static and broth cultures. It is also used for staining and identification of bacteria and fungi. The lab is also suitable for the evaluation of antiseptics and disinfectants, for the determination of phenol coefficient, microbial assay of vitamins, antibiotics etc.
