FACILITIES IN THE MULTI-USER SCIENCE RESEARCH LABORATORY
(MUSRL) AHMADU BELLO UNIVERSITY, ZARIA
PRESENTED BY: SILAS EKWURIBE (HND,MNIST,ICCON)
(LABORATORY MANAGER, MUSRL)
LOCATION OF MUSRL
MULTI-USER SCIENCE RESEARCH LABORATORY (MUSRL) IS SITUATED AT THE DEPARTMENT OF CHEMISTRY. AHMADU BELLO UNIVERSITY ZARIA.
• VISION: To promote inter-disciplinaryresearch using state of the art equipment ingenerating qualitative and reliable resultscomparable with that of any world classlaboratory.
• MISSION: To produce a new breed of highlyskilled scientists and establish standards whichdo not only serve as a template for otherLaboratories in Nigeria but equally meetInternational Standards.

DUST CONTROL
BAIONAIRE PARTICULATE AIR FILTER
Dust is a notable enemy to the
production of accurate laboratory
results therefore each of our eight
(8) instrument rooms is equipped with
a particulate air filter. All vents and
windows are designed to be dust-
tight.
THE WINDOWS AND DOORS OF THE
MUSRL ARE DESIGNED TO BE DUST
TIGHT.
EQUIPMENT ROOMS OFFICES

EQUIPMENT IN THE MULTI-USER SCIENCE RESEARCH
LABORATORY (MUSRL)
SPECIAL FEATURES: equipped with graphite furnace, vapor generator assembly( VGA)
auto sampler & assorted multi-element lamps.
LAMPS & STANDARDS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE FOLL0WING ELEMENTAL ANALYSIS:
aluminum, antimony, arsenic, barium, beryllium, bismuth ,boron, chromium, cadmium,
calcium, cobalt, copper, gold, iron, lead, lithium, magnesium, mercury, molybdenum,
nickel, palladium, platinum, potassium, silicon, silver, selenium, sodium, titanium,
tungsten, tin, vanadium, zinc.
DIFFERENTIAL SCANNING CALORIMETER (DSC)
One of the latest addition to the Lab is the DSC. It is used todetermine the temperature and heat of transformation in both liquidand solid materials: measures physical properties like compatibility,purity, crystallization, heat capacity and evaporation. It also assessesstability and the kinetic profile of materials and is useful for food ,pharmaceutical and material sciences.

AMINO ACID ANALYSZER (SYCAM)
The automated Amino Acid Analyzer isemployed in;the analysis of nutritive values of food stuffs,agricultural productsand Physiological Fluids in medical research.
THE CHNS-O ELEMENTAL ANALYSER
This equipment is used for thedetermination of thecomposition of carbon,hydrogen, nitrogen, andoxygen components of organicsamples.AREA OF APPLICATION: petrochemical industry geological industry agricultural industry Pure Organic Samples Synthetic Mixtures Organometallic Plastic & Polymer Rubber Coal & Coke. Soils and Sediments Plants; Compost & Leaves Fertilizers industry Animal Feed
OLYMPUS BX 41 RESEARCH MICROSCOPE
This microscope allows for clearer, brighter, beautifullycontrasted images. It also has multiple condensers to allow foran array of contrast techniques, including bright field, darkfield, differential interference contrast (DIC), polarization, andphase contrast. It has a wide-range of applications and isespecially suited for clinical research.
