About Lab<\/strong><\/p>\n

Water research encompasses multidisciplinary studies of water resources and management, and develops tools for environmental management and sustainability, aiming to protect aquatic and atmospheric environments. Our research addresses the risks to water quality and quantity across ground, surface water systems, river basins, and coastal zones. It includes an analysis of the climatic drivers of water-related risks, and impacts, as well as appropriate mitigation responses.<\/p>\n

Instrumentation facilities<\/strong><\/p>\n

The laboratory offers advanced facilities for the detailed analysis of trace and heavy metal contaminants, as well as major cations and anions in soil and water samples. Its major instruments include a computerized UV-Vis spectrophotometer, a high-speed centrifuge, a high-resolution microscope, a muffle furnace, an incubator, a jar test apparatus, and a UV chamber. Supporting equipment includes pH meters, electrical conductivity (EC) meters, dissolved oxygen (DO) meters, total dissolved solids (TDS) meters, and constant-temperature water baths. In addition, the Central Science Laboratory of the University of Rajshahi, located in the same building, provides access to advanced analytical facilities, including Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), Gas Chromatography (GC), High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Inductively Coupled Plasma Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-ES), Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Fluorescence Microscope and other sophisticated analytical instruments.<\/p>\n
