Specialized Chemistry Lab 2, one of the laboratories of the College of Applied Sciences affiliated with the Applied Chemistry program, was established in 2012. It can accommodate 15 students and contains modern tools and equipment necessary to provide students with various practical skills and abilities.
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.
