Research & Equipment

SZABIST LIBRARIES hold a rich collection of Printed Books, Journals, Magazines, Newspapers and a large number of resources, which cover all subject areas. SZABIST library provides SZABIST’s own publications including journal of Independent Study & Research, Thesis, Dissertations, Proceedings, SZABIST Handbooks, etc. The SZABIST library subscribes to a number of digital online libraries through which students can access an unlimited number of journals and magazines.

SZABIST library has six workstations through which students can access to a wide range of electronic resources; this facility is further extended to registered students through SZABIST network on demand. Moreover, Library provides comfortable physical spaces and furniture with peaceful environment.

The objective of the General Biosciences Lab is to assist students in building their hands on experience and practical skills. It serves as a laboratory for a number of courses with Biosciences related course labs. Furthermore, the lab is available to Biosciences undergraduate students to complete their final year research project during open hours i.e. when lab is not in progress for regular courses.

The Microbiology and Immunology laboratory is designed to help students become familiar with and proficient in the basic and advanced microbiology and immunology techniques. Students are engaged in the application of scientific methods to the study of the subcellular aspects of molecular biology and genetics of microbes, mechanisms of resistance to microbial infections, and development of therapeutics.
The laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment’s like incubators, autoclave, vortex mixers, analytical balance, hot-plates, water-bath, inverted microscope, shaking incubators, refrigerated centrifuge, laminar flow hood and safety cabinet (class II), Gel-doc system. Students solidify their skills in microscopy, spectrophotometry, perform PCR reactions, SDS-PAGE, immunoprecipitation and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays along with the classic serological assays including the immunodiffusion and blood typing.

Plant tissue culture is widely used to produce clones of a plant in a method known as micropropagation. Tissue culture Laboratory was established in 2010 at Biosciences department.
The main objectives of the tissue culture facility is to optimize tissue culture media and growth conditions for micropropagation of medicinal and ornamental plants, in order to utilize them for research purpose.
The basic tissue culture facilities available in the tissue culture lab are tissue culture grade chemicals and biomolecules for culture media preparation, Laminar flow cabinets, Culture rooms, Growth rooms, Media preparation room, Washing area and Greenhouses.

Studio at 154 is used for shoots, classes, lectures, and other events. Media studio reservations are made through cage staff up to one week in advance. Students will also be responsible for the condition of the studio area after finishing their work.
