Medical Biochemistry Laboratory

 The Medical Biochemistry Laboratory is one of the most important laboratories established at the College. It includes the latest laboratory equipment that enable the conduct of most of the clinical tests on blood such as UV spectrophotometer, the devices of separating blood samples (Centrifuges). The lab equipment enable also the identification of sugars, amino acids and lipids in the biological fluids and foods. The lab along with the research unit conduct scientific researches that fall within its specialization.

Microbiology Lab, food safety and parasites

This lab was designed according to the global standards of safety and quality. It is equipped with the equipment and tools required for practical studies, and includes the following units:

1. preparation and processing.

2. microscopic examination unit.

3. primary laboratory equipment unit (incubator, hot oven, sensitive balance).

4. The refrigeration and freezing unit.

5. the disinfection and sterilization unit.

6. the consumed tools unit (pipettes, slides, plates, solvents and reagents).

The microbiology lab is concerned with identifying and isolating the microorganisms (bacteria and fungi of health importance) using the biochemical methods of sprouting, dying and testing in the Department of Food Safety. The lab includes the detection of contaminants of food, including the microorganisms, density tests, acidity and fat content as well as the study the physical and chemical properties of food. Finally, with regard to parasites and insects of medical importance, the lab is concerned with microscopically identifying them, the use of serological tests and identifying the medical insects using the external form and structure. Moreover, the lab in combination with the research unit at the College conducts the scientific researches to serve the community.
