Instrumental Analysis Lab.

Outline of Instrumental Analysis Lab.

Instrumental Analysis Lab. was established in the building number one of the university for effective research based on the foundation policy of Research Center for Common Use. The laboratory maintains equipment's such as highly efficient analysis instruments and DNA related equipment etc. and supports researchers with their operation and measurements.
Prompt and accurate separation and analysis of trace substances have been made possible by high performance instruments which are contributed by advancement and application in technology of separation and detection, and also rapid progress in computer technology and scientific technology.
Since operation and maintenance of large-scale equipment's require highly developed professional knowledge and technique, staffs are trained for higher technical skills as well as lectures are given of operational techniques and applied techniques for the equipment's.
To correspond to advancement of function and performance of research facilities, automatization of analysis instruments, expansion of functions, improvement of equipment's environment, and adjustment with new large-scale equipment's followed by technological reformation are important subjects. The laboratory has aim to support the students and staff with various researches.
