The cost Basic infrastructure budget – $75,000 to be provided by the Faculty
Please Support the proposed
Synthetic Chemistry and Drug Discovery Lab !!!
Think of the days when you carried out your laboratory experiments or research projects with limited and aged equipment and facilities but still received a good education which paved the path for your success.
With those limited facilities, the department imparted quality education that made you the successful person you are today!
Would you not prefer the upcoming generations of students to use more advanced facilities?
Fortunately, the Chemistry Department has made significant strides in laboratory development in the last several years
New facilities include:

Now the Department plans to set up a Synthetic Chemistry and Drug Discovery Laboratory and CUFSAA-NA plans to fund the phase of the project that covers the basic lab infrastructure consisting of fume hoods, chemical resistant benches, Schlenk line, solvent purification system, rotary evaporators, balances, ovens, hotplates, stirrers, and other general lab equipment.
Estimated Cost of the Equipment Budget: $100,000
| Item | Estimated cost (USD) |
| Five port, dual manifold Schlenk line equipped with direct-drive or rotary-vain vacuum pump | 20,000 |
| Single station glovebox with purification catalyst bed | 30,000 |
| Solvent purification system | 30,000 |
| Balances, ovens, hotplate stirrers etc. | 15,000 |
| Glassware items required for air-sensitive chemistry | 5,000 |
| TOTAL | 100,000 |
You can make a difference in the lives of the upcoming generations of students to use more advanced facilities to bring our research to another level.
We are grateful to the vision of the faculty in the Chemistry department who has made great strides in upgrading the laboratories the last several years.
We are confident that with your support we can reach this goal fast!
