Over the years the Institute has acquired sophisticated
modern instruments of scientific research worth over US $
35 million. These facilities make this institute one of the
finests in the developing world and at par to major universities
of the West. This includes:
- Twelve super-conducting NMR spectrometers including LC-NMR
(Bruker Avance, Three 600, Four 500 MHz, Three 400 MHz,
Two 300 MHz).
- Over half a dozen high-resolution mass spectrometers
(including Applied Biosystem LC-MS and LC-MS/MS Thermofinigan
MAT95, Jeol HX-110 and JMS 600 with mass range of over
12000).
- Gas phased Amino Acids Sequencer.
- Single Crystal X-ray diffractometer, (P-IV and Apex Smart,
Bruker)
- ICP
- FT-IR Spectrophotometers
- CD Equipment
- Gas-Chromatograph / Mass Spectrophotometer (GC-MS)
- Gas Chromatographs
- HPLCs, including Recycling HPLCs,
- Silicon graphic workstation and Intel based cluster computers.
- Gas Chromatographs
- UV Spectrophotometers
- Lovibond Color Measurements Instruments
- Auto-Kjeldhal Protein Determination Systems
- Abbe Benchtop Refractomters
- Rapid Fat Determination Systems
- Viscometer
- Animal House
- Microbiological Unit
- Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory
- Green Houses
- Pilot Plant Facility
- Glass-ware manufacturing workshop
- Helium and Nitrogen liquification facilities
The Institute has a well-equipped pharmacology section (with
animal houses), plant biotechnology unit, and a pilot plant
building.
Mass spectroscopic databases, ISI current contents, dictionary
of natural products and chemical abstracts on CDs have also
been acquired. The well-subscribed subject-special library
of the institute subscribes over 200 periodicals and journals
and house over 6000 books on various aspects of chemical
and related sciences. A broad-band radiowave connectivity
of 4 MB caters the communication needs of the Institute,
which include access to ISI online databases, Sci Finder,
and full connectivity to PERN (Pakistan Education & Research
Network).
Several new laboratories such as enzyme inhibition, tissue
culture and plant micropropagation, antitumor and radiolabelling
laboratories have been established in collaboration with
NCI (USA), Abbott Laboratories and other partners.
