Bio Chemistry Section background

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
  • • Centrifuges, incubators, and refrigerated storage systems
  • • Analytical balances and reagent preparation areas
  • • Controlled environmental conditions for sample handling
Research and Collaboration

The section actively participates in R&D projects aimed at improving vaccine formulations and identifying new biochemical markers for disease diagnostics. Collaborative work with production and QA/QC units enhances product quality and innovation.

Quality and Compliance

All testing protocols follow institutional SOPs and international quality norms. The section adheres to Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) and ensures data integrity, traceability, and reproducibility through meticulous documentation and calibration systems.

Mission and Commitment

The Bio Chemistry Section is committed to scientific precision, analytical reliability, and continuous improvement — ensuring that every product released reflects the highest standards of safety, stability, and efficacy.
