Bio Chemistry Section
The Bio Chemistry Section serves as a core analytical and research support unit responsible for the biochemical evaluation of vaccines, diagnostic reagents, and raw materials. It ensures product stability, purity, and efficacy through precise chemical and biochemical analyses that comply with national and international quality standards.
Overview
The Bio Chemistry Section plays a key role in the quality evaluation of biological products through biochemical and analytical testing. It provides crucial data on vaccine stability, adjuvant composition, protein concentration, and pH balance, ensuring every batch meets the required standards before release.
The section also contributes to research and development by supporting new vaccine formulations and validating biochemical markers for diagnostic use.
Core Functions
- • Biochemical analysis of vaccines and diagnostic reagents
- • Protein and antigen quantification using spectrophotometric methods
- • pH, osmolality, and electrolyte balance measurement
- • Evaluation of preservatives, stabilizers, and adjuvants in formulations
- • Testing of raw materials and diluents used in biological production
Infrastructure and Facilities
The laboratory is equipped with modern analytical and biochemical testing infrastructure, including:
- • UV–Visible spectrophotometers and microplate readers
- • pH and conductivity analyzers
