Safety
  1. Wear protective glasses at all times, and do not use contact lenses.
  2. Wear protective clothing (lab coat) at all times.
  3. Do not enter the laboratory without a supervisor present, and carefully read the experiment instructions before beginning work.
  4. Wear closed shoes at all times.
  5. Eating, drinking, smoking, or tasting any chemical substance is strictly prohibited in the laboratory.
  6. Never use your mouth to fill a pipette.
  7. Avoid looking directly at the open side of containers during chemical reactions to prevent exposure to rising gases.
  8. Familiarize yourself with the location of safety equipment and immediately report any emergencies.
  9. Use the fume hood when working with strong-smelling or allergenic substances.
  10. Maintain cleanliness and tidiness in the laboratory at all times.
  11. Do not approach or leave heat sources unattended during work.
  12. Avoid directing the open end of a test tube toward your face during heating processes.
  13. In case of any substance coming into contact with hands or face, wash thoroughly with water.
  14. Feel free to seek advice from supervisors or moderators as needed.

Skills

The laboratory aims to teach students the use of materials analysis devices, including optical analysis, and their application in analyzing various samples. Additionally, students are instructed in analysis methods for chemical compounds, encompassing volumetric and gravimetric analysis through titration processes. They learn how to analyze samples of various foods and oils to ensure their authenticity and compliance with international specifications. Moreover, students study the analysis of certain types of medicines.

This laboratory also seeks to instruct students in the fundamentals of biochemistry by familiarizing them with methods for analyzing and separating biological compounds such as carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, and fats. These methods include the use of photoanalyzers and electrophoresis. Moreover, students explore enzyme reactions and learn how to track them.

Students are also trained to adhere to laboratory safety procedures and to perform calculations for the experiments they conduct.

These laboratories are utilized for conducting research experiments for graduation projects.
