This advanced lab offers staff and
students excellent equipment and facilities for
research into the properties, processing and performance
of biomaterials. The innovative work here involves
both polymeric and ceramic biomaterials. The researchers
are interested in using these biomaterials for
orthopaedic, anti-cancer, cardiovascular and urological
applications.
As MSE constantly keeps its research
relevant to the industry, some of the extensive
work carried out in this lab is done in collaboration
with major health institutions in Singapore. Such
groundbreaking work covers drug delivery and heart
stents. Some of the sophisticated systems available
in the lab include the High-Performance Liquid
Chromatography and Size Exclusion Chromatography.
Major Facilities:
- High-Performance
Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) for analysis of
drugs and proteins
- Size
Exclusion Chromatograph (SEC) for polymer analysis
-
Cone-and-plate
Rheometer
- Semi-automated
drug release apparatus
- Micro-
and nano-particle fabrication
- New
biopolymer synthesis
- Tissue/cell
cultures for in-vitro studies
- Inverted
microscope
- Polymer
coater for thin film fabrication
-
CCD optical micrometer
