Chemistry Lab

Many scientists around the world suggested the introduction of Microscale experiments for undergraduate and graduate students. The benefits of implementing Microscale experimentation in chemistry are
  • Saves precious time for preparation & enhances safety.
  • Reduced quantity of chemicals & water.
  • Uses lesser time for sample preparation.
  • Shorter reaction time.
  • Cost effectiveness in terms of chemicals, glassware & equipment.
  • Odourless process leading to an eco-friendly environment.
Such Microscale analysis are adapted in our chemistry laboratory to create environment friendly atmosphere.
