CICS-UBI has a Pharmaceutical technology lab dedicated to drug and formulation development. It has a Zetasizer Nano ZS used for measurement of nanoparticles size or zeta potential; a Texture Analyzer for the characterization of semi-solid and solid preparations; a Fourier-transform infrared spectrophotometer used in the characterization of synthesized materials; a Biacore SPR system; and a set of Ussing chambers, coupled with the possibility of measuring transepithelial current or resistance, used in a variety of permeation and drug release studies.
