Introduction


Scientific research aims to discover and explain laws and theories to describe natural and social phenomena which is

important to set up a scientific knowledge. Scientific knowledge originates from explanations of theories that are processed

by logic and evidence, which scientific knowledge is built upon.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s 2030 vision shows the importance of supporting the research and development sector to

achieve long term goals of the 2030 vision of diversifying the economy incomes of the Kingdom by increasing the competi-

tiveness of the kingdom’s universities and by 2030 at least 5 Saudi universities are among the QS World University ranking

top 200 which requires high quality research to achieve this goal.

Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University (IAU) is one of the 5 top universities in Saudi Arabia and is in the top 20 Saudi

Arabia’s research institutions and is known for the diverse specialized laboratories in various fields. IAU is determined to

provide an academic environment in these various fields of sciences by creating ideal environments for research and

innovation that creates new knowledge and opportunities for economic development, provide consultation on scientific

issues from experienced staff and facilitate all types of ethical scientific research to achieve the vision of IAU of becoming

a world class scientific research institution.

Sustained efforts have been made by the university to build supportive educational environment of high quality that attracts

excellent students and outstanding faculty. Institutional accreditation of the University by the Educational Evaluation Com-

mission - Higher Education Sector (EEC-HES), and accreditation of King Fahd Hospital of the University by JCI and CAP

would ensure superb environment for work, learning and teaching, and service.

Real Time PCR

ManufacturerBIORAD CFX OPUS 96 785BR08140

Model S/N


Real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) is commonly used to measure gene expression. It is more sensitive than microarrays in detecting small changes in expression but requires more input RNA and is less adaptable to high-throughput studies. It is best suited for studies of small subsets of genes. It’s one major shortcoming is that the sequence of the specific target gene of interest must be known.

It is used for Gene expression without requiring ROX, end-point analysis for sequence detection, protein thermal shift assays and assay optimization with thermal gradient.

Microplate Reader

ManufacturerBIOTEK 800 TS 1210091B

Model S/N


A microplate reader is a laboratory instrument that is used to measure chemical, biological or physical reactions, properties and analytes within the well of a microplate. A microplate consists of small wells in which separated reactions take place. These reactions convert the presence of an analyte or the progression of biochemical processes into optical signals. The microplate reader detects these signals and thus quantifies the parameter of interest.

A microplate reader is used for the quantification of several biological and chemical assays in a microplate. Nowadays, the availability of a plethora of reagent kits enables the exploitation of a microplate reader in different fields and for many different applications. Besides biological, biochemical and pharmaceutical research, both in academic and industrial environments, plate readers are also used in environmental research, and in the food or cosmetics industry.

Microplate Washer

ManufacturerBIOTEK 50 TS 1210165

Model S/N


Microplate washers are laboratory instruments designed to control the procedure of washing experimental samples arranged in plate-based formats. Users load a plate and select a program; microplate washers then dispense, soak and aspirate liquids from the plate in seconds. Compared to manual alternatives, microplate washers tremendously improve the speed and accuracy of many different washing procedures and are particularly useful for Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISAs). Microplate washers are also employed to wash cell cultures, protein arrays, Western blots and beads as well as applied in DNA purifica-tion protocols.

Microplate washers are used in many applications such as ELISA, cell-based assays and micro-sphere-based assays. A dependable washer is quiet, easy to clean and leaves no residue, preventing contamination and reducing background. Formats available are strip washers, full plate washers and combination washer-dispensers.

Inverted Microscope

ManufacturerOLYMPUS IX83 2J53097

Model S/N


In an inverted microscope, the source for transmitted light and the condenser are placed on the top of the stage, pointing down toward the stage. The objectives are located below the stage pointing up. The cells are observed through the bottom of the cell culture vessel. To meet the criteria for successful inverted microscopy, the bottom of the culture vessel must have the highest optical features.

Inverted microscopy is a very popular technique for live cell imaging. Here, living cells are observed through the bottom of a cell culture vessel. Most cells naturally sink to the bottom of the vessel and—if no suspension cells are used—adhere to the surface, meaning that they are spread across one focal plane. When growing in vessels that are suitable for inverted microsco-py, cells have access to larger amounts of medium than if they were squeezed between a cover-slip and a slide. In addition, sample access from the top is possible, for medium exchange or micropipettes, for example. Another very important advantage is sterility: as there is no contact between the objective and the sample, sterile working conditions are guaranteed.

Water Deionizer

ManufacturerFISHER SCIENTIFIC Milli-Q N/A

Model S/N


Deionization (DI) is a very convenient and cost-effective water filtration process for producing highly purified water on demand for aquarium or hydroponic use. By definition, deionization, often called DI for short, is the removal of all ionized minerals and salts (both organic and inorganic) from water through the process of ion exchange. Because most non-particulate water impurities are dissolved salts, deionization produces high purity water that is generally similar to distilled water.

Used in specimen processing where surgical instruments are cleaned, deionized water is used in conjunction with a liquid or gas disinfectant and a microbial-free rinse to ensure that the instruments are free of any residuals, thereby ensuring absolute sterility. This is something that the use of tap water cannot guarantee.

C-Digital Blot Scanner

ManufacturerLI-COR C-DiGit® 3600 N/A

Model S/N


Western blotting is a powerful technique that enables indirect detection of protein samples immobilized on a nitrocellulose or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. In a convention-al western blot, protein samples are first resolved by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and then electrophoretically transferred to the membrane. Following a blocking step, the membrane is probed with a primary antibody that was raised against the antigen in question. After a subsequent washing step, the membrane is incubated with a conjugated secondary antibody that is reactive toward the primary antibody. The two most common enzymes conjugated to secondary antibodies are horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and alkaline phosphatase (AP). These enzymes catalyze the chemical reaction for generating a recordable signal in the form of light.

Chemiluminescent Western blotting is a highly sensitive protein detection method. The broad dynamic range allows analyte detection over a wide range of protein concentration. The linear response of reporter enzymes combined with enhanced chemiluminescent (ECL) substrates makes the detection method suitable for quantitative assays.

Impact tests are short-term tests which provide information on the failure behavior of materi-als or components subjected to rapid loading and at varying temperatures. All materials are used on a daily basis with fluctuating temperatures. Since the fracture behavior depends on the temperature, materials are often tested in the entire operating temperature range, indicat-ing at which temperature and to what extent a material becomes brittle under temperature.

Used to evaluate an object's capacity to withstand high rate loading and it is commonly used to determine the service life of a part or material. Impact resistance can be among the most chal-lenging qualities to measure.

Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS)

ManufacturerShimadzu GC-MS-QP2010 Ultra System 020525001066SA

Model S/N


Gas chromatography separates volatile or semi-volatile compounds, and mass spectrometry characterizes each of the compounds individually. The combination of the two techniques allows for both qualitative and quantitative evaluations of a sample containing a number of volatile or semi-volatile compounds. Temperature is a key factor that controls compounds separation in GC. Gaseous analytes are carried through a column with an inert gas (such as helium). As the separated substances emerge from the column opening, they flow into the MS.

GC-MS is a mature and established analytic technique with many applications in the detection and measurement of endogenous metabolites and environmental exposure-related metabolites in human biofluids and tissue extracts. The technique is ultimately well suited for the separation of volatile compounds in the natural extracts. GC-MS is becoming the tool of choice for tracking organic pollutants in the environment. Foods and beverages contain numerous aromatic com-pounds, some naturally present in the raw materials and some forming during processing. GC-MS is extensively used for the analysis of these compounds which include esters, fatty acids, alcohols, Aldehydes, terpenes etc. It is also used to detect and measure contaminants from spoilage or adulteration which may be harmful and which are often controlled by govern-mental agencies, for example pesticides.

Flash Chromatography

ManufacturerBiotage Isolera IS11745117

Model S/N


Flash chromatography is a chemical separation technique used to purify and isolate the chem-ical mixtures. The principal behind this separation technology is simple – compounds in solu-tion will, based on their particular chemistry, separate from each other due to their polarity differences, given the right conditions and technique. Flash chromatography is used extensive-ly to separate and prepare pure (isolate) amounts of components that comprise a liquid mixture. It showed so many advantages like high efficiency, shorter run times, less solvent usage, peak Shape, better recovery, better scale up, and lower cost of operation.

This instrument is used to isolate the active constituents from the natural products in a short time using small amount of solvents.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR)

ManufacturerBrukers NMR 300HZ E1451100/0265

Model S/N


NMR spectroscopy is an extremely powerful tool for the detection, identification and quantifi-cation of drugs and related substances. NMR is also used for impurity profiling or determina-tion of the drug's optical purity. NMR is also used to characterize organic molecules by identify-ing carbon-hydrogen frameworks within molecules. 1H-NMR is used to determine the type and number of H atoms in a molecule and 13C-NMR is used to determine the type of carbon atoms in a molecule. The sample is placed in a magnetic field and the NMR signal is produced by excitation of the nuclei sample with radio waves into nuclear magnetic resonance, which is detected with sensitive radio receivers. When low-energy radio waves interact with a molecule, they can change the nuclear spins of some elements, including 1H and 13C.

NMR spectroscopy is one of the principal techniques used to obtain physical, chemical, elec-tronic and structural information about molecules due to the chemical shift of the resonance frequencies of the nuclear spins in the sample. 1H-NMR and C13 spectra of NMR is used for the structure elucidation of newly synthesized compounds and also extracted or isolated natural compounds. It is also used in drug development of formulation of many dosage forms e.g. determination of encapsulation of drugs inside the formulation.

Atomic absorption spectroscopy is frequently used to identify and analyze the presence of potentially harmful elements in the environment. One common use for these methods is the analysis of soil samples and the effect the quality of the soil will have on the overall rate of food production in a certain area. Soil samples that contain high levels of phosphorous and nitrogen often yield higher production volume and produce healthier crops. Atomic absorption and atomic fluorescence spectroscopy can be used to determine the presence of these elements and the quantities in which they appear. These methods can also be used to detect trace amounts of harmful chemicals, such as rhodium, in water samples.

a fluorescent substance that has bound to nucleic acids is excited by ultraviolet irradiation and emits fluorescent light. The fluorescent substance Ethidium Bromide binds specifically to nucleic acid and the amount of bonding depends on the molecular weight and concentration of the nucleic acid. In other words, a band for a large molecular weight or large amount will shine brighter; conversely, fluorescence will be weaker for a band for a small molecular weight or small amount.

FT-IR Spectrometer

ManufacturerPerkinelmer N/A 114292

Model S/N


FTIR analysis measures the range of wavelengths in the infrared region that are absorbed by a material. This is accomplished through the application of infrared radiation (IR) to samples of a material. The sample’s absorbance of the infrared light’s energy at various wavelengths is measured to determine the material’s molecular composition and structure. Unknown materi-als are identified by searching the spectrum against a database of reference spectra. Materials can be quantified using the FTIR materials characterization technique as long as a standard curve of known concentrations of the component of interest can be created.

FTIR Analysis can be used to identify unknown materials, additives within polymers, surface contamination on a material, and more. The results of the tests can pinpoint a sample’s molecu-lar composition and structure. A simple device called an interferometer is used to identify sam-ples by producing an optical signal with all the IR frequencies encoded into it. The signal can be measured quickly.

Rotary-Pumped Sputter Coater

Sputter coating is a technique widely used in various applications; it is possible to create a plasma and sputter metals with high voltage, poor vacuum and no automation. However, this is not suitable for electron microscopy applications because it will heat the sample and can result in damage when the plasma interacts with the sample. The use of low temperature enhanced-plasma magnetrons optimized for the rotary pump pressures, combined with low current and deposition control, which ensures your sample is protected and uniformly coated.

It is used for magnification and carbon cord coating for elemental analysis.OF APPLICATIONFIELD

Scanning Electron Microscope

The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) instrument is based on the principle that the primary electrons released from the source provide energy to the atomic electrons of the specimen which can then release as the secondary electrons (SEs) and an image can be formed by collecting these secondary electrons from each point of the specimen, the basic requirement for SEM to operate under a vacuum to avoid interactions of electrons with gas molecules in order to obtain high resolution.

SEMs are used in materials science for research, quality control and failure analysis. In biological sciences, SEMs can be used on anything from insects and animal tissue to bacteria and viruses. Uses include measuring the effect of climate change of species, identifying new bacteria and virulent strains, vaccination testing, uncovering new species, work within the field of genetics. SEMs are used in medi-cal science to compare blood and tissue samples in determining the cause of illness and measuring the effects of treatments on patients (while contributing to the design of new treatments).

Transmission electron microscope is a microscopy technique capable of providing very high-resolu-tion images down to a level of several Angstroms (~ 0.19nm). It images thin (100s nms) samples via the interaction of electrons as they pass through a specimen. Detecting a range of resultant secondary signals allows for the study of nano-scale morphological and chemical features of materials down to near atomic levels.

It is used for bright field imaging, electron diffraction, dark field imaging, energy dispersive, X-ray spec-troscopy (EDS), electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), scanning transmission electron spectrosco-py (STEM)and Nano-tomography (3D profiling).

Tissue Processor

Tissue processing is a procedure of removing water from cells and replacing it with a medium which solidifies allowing thin sections to be cut on a microtome. Tissue processing is routinely done on an instrument called Tissue Processor. Paraffin displaces xylene. Specimen is now ready to be embed-ded.

Tissue processing is a very important part of any histology laboratory. Tissues are made from large groups of cells that cluster together to complete a shared function. A tissue processor is an instrument that is used to analyze and process samples by fixing, staining, dehydrating or decalcifying them.

Microtome

A microtome is a specialized precision cutting instrument, which accurately and repeatedly slices sections from a block of embedded tissue. In any microtome a sharp knife and the tissue block are held in a fixed relation to each other. With each pass of the tissue past the knife it advances the tissue block a preset amount—the section thickness. In electron microscopy sections must be extremely thin, about 200× thinner than wax sections.

Ultramicrotome

It permits the internal fine structures of samples to be visualized and analyzed at nanometer scale resolution. It produces ultrathin sections of samples in a fast and clean manner. A key advantage of ultramicrotomy is the size and homogeneity of the electron-transparent area within the sections and the speed at which the sections are produced.

Ultramicrotomy can be used for multiple types of samples, including biological specimens and industri-al materials, e.g. polymers (rubber and plastics) and ductile, hard, or brittle materials (metals or ceram-ics).

Real time PCR

Real-time PCR is the technique of collecting data throughout the polymerase chain reaction process as it occurs, thus combining amplification and detection into a single step. This is achieved using a variety of different fluorescent chemistries that correlate PCR product concentration to fluorescence intensity . Reactions are characterized by the point in time (or PCR cycle) where the target amplifica-tion is first detected. This value is usually referred to as cycle threshold (Ct), the time at which fluores-cence intensity is greater than background fluorescence. Consequently, the greater the quantity of target DNA in the starting material, the faster a significant increase in fluorescent signal will appear, yielding a lower Ct.

Real-time PCR offers sensitivity, specificity, and wide dynamic range for detecting target nucleic acids, making it a useful and powerful technology for research applications that cover the spectrum of biology from basic research to translational medicine to applied biology.

Microarray

Microarray technology rests on the ability to deposit many (tens of thousands) different DNA sequenc-es on a small surface, usually a glass slide (often referred to as a “chip”). The different DNA fragments are arranged in rows and columns such that the identity of each fragment is known through its location on the array. Two types of microarrays are gene expression microarray and tissue microarray (TMA). Techniques like Northern blot and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) allow testing for only a few genes per experiment. But microarray not only looks at orders of magni-tude more genes than was possible previously, but also has the advantage that the genes examined are not influenced by preselection of genes.

Microarrays have been used for comparative genomic hybridization, Antibiotic treatment and Early detection of oral precancerous lesions.

High Performance Liquid Chromatography

HPLC is a highly improved form of column chromatography. A pump forces a solvent through a column under high pressures of up to 400 atmospheres. The column packing material or adsorbent or stationary phase is typically a granular material made of solid particles such as silica or polymers. The pressure makes the technique much faster compared to column chromatography. This allows using much smaller particles for the column packing material. The smaller particles have a much greater surface area for interactions between the stationary phase and the molecules flowing past it. This results in a much better separation of the components of the mixture. The pressurized liquid is typical-ly a mixture of solvents such as water, acetonitrile and/or methanol and is referred to as the mobile phase. The components of a mixture are separated from each other due to their different degrees of interaction with the absorbent particles. This causes different elution rates for the different compo-nents and leads to the separation of the components as they flow out the column. Compared to column chromatography, HPLC is highly automated and extremely sensitive.

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a chromatographic technique used to split a mixture of compounds in the fields of analytical chemistry, biochemistry and industrial. The main purposes for using HPLC are for identifying, quanti-fying and purifying the individual components of the mixture.

Surface Area and Porosimetry

The system utilizes the physical adsorption principle for gas. Gas molecules strike solid surfaces repeatedly and linger for some time – this is known as adsorption. Adsorption occurs at all gas-solid interfaces and is a function of temperature and pressure. When the sample is exposed to the analysis gas (usually nitrogen), the number of molecules adsorbed on the surface increases. Dynamic equilib-rium is achieved when the rate of adsorption is equal to the rate of molecules leaving the surface. The pressure at which the equilibrium occurs is measured and the universal gas law is applied to deter-mine the quantity of gas adsorbed. Knowing the mean surface area that each gas molecule occupies, an analysis can be done using the BET theory (Brunnauer, Emmett and Teller theory) to find the total surface area of the aerogel. As more and more gas molecules are adsorbed with increasing pressure, there comes a point when condensation occurs. At this point, the BJH theory (Barrett, Joyner, and Halenda theory) is applied to investigate the porosity.

Fluorometer

A fluorescence spectrophotometer (or fluorometer, fluorospectrometer, or fluorescence spectrome-ter) measures the fluorescent light emitted from a sample at different wavelengths, after illumination with a xenon flash lamp. Fluorometers can have different channels for measuring differently-colored fluorescent signals (that differ in their wavelengths), such as green and blue, or ultraviolet and blue, channels. Some can also read fluorescent signals for fast, complex experiments, such as time-re-solved fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET). Fluorometers hold samples in different ways, including cuvettes, capillaries, Petri dishes, and microplates. Some have optional microplate readers, allowing emission scans in up to 384-well plates, for example. Others models hold the sample in place using surface tension. Fluorometers also vary in the size of samples they accept, with some using very small sample sizes to conserve precious sample materials (down to 0.3 µl). Lightweight, hand-held models are also available that detect fluorescent probes used to quantify protein and nucleic acids.

A fluorometer or fluorimeter is a device used to measure parameters of visible spectrum fluores-cence: its intensity and wavelength distribution of emission spectrum after excitation by a certain spectrum of light. These parameters are used to identify the presence and the amount of specific molecules in a medium.

Automated Cell Counter

Automated cell counters are machines that automatically count cells. The sample is loaded into an automated cell counter and it is forced through a small tube while the automated cell counter uses optical or electrical impedance sensors to count how many cells go through the tube. Used in medical and research labs, automated cell counters can be used on blood or urine samples to determine the number and types of cells present or to check the viability of a cultured cell line for research purposes. Some automated cell counters are for blood analysis and others for urinalysis. Features vary between the different automated cell counters, including sample size requirement, quantity and cell types it can analyze, data management, and whether or not it can differentiate between live and dead cells.

Cell counts are important for monitoring cell health and proliferation rate, assessing immortalization or transformation, seeding cells for subsequent experiments, transfection or infection, and preparing for cell-based assays. It is important that cell counts be accurate, consistent, and fast, particularly for quantitative measurements of cellular responses.

Blot Scanner

The C-DiGit® Chemiluminescent Western Blot Scanner is a digital replacement for film, combining the sensitivity of film with the convenience and flexibility of a CCD imager.To achieve this breakthrough at an affordable price, LI-COR implemented a new imaging approach that was previously considered impossi- ble: line-read scanning of chemiluminescent signals. Film-quality Western images are digital-ly captured in as little as 6 minutes, and no changes are generally required in detection protocols or reagents (if very high sensitivity is required, a high-performance substrate such as WesternSureTM PREMIUM or SuperSignal® West Femto is recommended).The low-noise sensor array and short optical working distance maximize the efficiency of light collection and enable rapid line-scan imag-ing.The sensitivity, dynamic range, and affordability of the C-DiGit Blot Scanner make it a true digital replacement for film in Western blotting.

It is designed to image membranes for chemiluminescent Western blot analysis using digital meth-ods, eliminating the need for traditional exposure to film. Before image acquisition is started, a mem-brane is placed on the scanning surface and the lid is closed. Image acquisition is started via Image Studio™ Software.

Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (WDXRF)

the X-ray tube acting as a source irradiates a sample directly, and the fluorescence coming from the sample is measured with a wavelength dispersive detection system. The characteristic radiation coming from each individual element can be identified using analyzing crystals which separate the X-rays based on their wavelength, or conversely their energies. Such an analysis can either be done by measuring the X-ray intensity at different wavelengths one after the other (sequential) or in fixed positions, measuring the X-ray intensities at different wavelengths all at the same time (simultane-ous).

It can be used to measure virtually every element form Na to Pu in the periodic table, and some instru-ments can be used for quantitative or semi-quantitative work for even lighter elements. It can measure elemental concentrations ranging from a few ppm to nearly 100 percent. It can be used for monitoring major components in a product or process or the addition of minor additives.

Approaching a sharp silicon tip mounted on a cantileler to a sample surface leads to an atomic scale interaction. The results is a bend of the cantileler which is detected by a Laser. In static mode the resulting deflection is used to inlestigate the topography of the sample surface line-by-line using a feedback loop. In dynamic mode the cantileler is oscillated at fixed frequency resulting in a damped amplitude near the surface. The measurement parameters (setpoint, feedback gain,...) play a crucial role for image quality. The dependence on the imaging quality is inlestigated for different nano struc-tured samples.

Vector Network Analyzer

A Vector Network Analyzer contains both a source, used to generate a known stimulus signal, and a set of receivers, used to determine changes to this stimulus caused by the device-under-test or DUT. The stimulus signal is injected into the DUT and the Vector Network Analyzer measures both the signal that's reflected from the input side, as well as the signal that passes through to the output side of the DUT. The Vector Network Analyzer receivers measure the resulting signals and compare them to the known stimulus signal. The measured results are then processed by either an internal or exter-nal PC and sent to a display.

Vector Network Analyzers are used to test component specifications and verify design simulations to make sure systems and their components work properly together. Component designers need to verify the performance of their components such as amplifiers, filters, antennas, cables, mixers, etc.

Moisture meter (Aquameter)

The unit has two modes of operation the pin mode, and search mode. In the pin mode, two pins are pushed into the material and a high frequency field is created between these two pins. In the search mode the unit uses a high frequency capacitive sensor to sample a large volume of the material, instantaneously. Changes in this electromagnetic field are directly proportional to the dielectric constant of the material through which it passes. As the dielectric constant of water is almost two orders of magnitude greater than most non-metallic materials, variations in this parameter can be correlated to the moisture content. After extensive testing of various materials, relationships between the change in this field and moisture content have been determined. These relationships have been digitized and implemented using the latest in micro-computer technology, thereby allowing the user the direct readout of moisture content for concrete, masonry, hard wood, soft wood, gypsum, and brick. The pin method has been found to be most effective in low density materials such as fir wood or pine wood.

Apparatus for Aggregate absorption, Specefic Gravity and Unit Weight

Specific Gravity is defined as the ratio of Weight of Aggregate to the Weight of equal Volume of water. The specific gravity of an aggregate is considered to be a measure of strength or quality of the materi-al. Aggregates having low specific gravity are generally weaker than those with high specific gravity. This property helps in a general identification of aggregates. The specific gravity of aggregates normally used in construction ranges from about 2.5 to 3.0 with an average value of about 2.68. Specific gravity of aggregates is considered as an indication of strength. Material having higher Specific Gravity is generally considered as having higher strength. Water absorption of aggregate is a measure of porosity. This value is considered as a measure of resistance to frost action, and as a measure of sustaining weathering action.

Aggregate specific gravity is used in a number of applications including Superpave mix design, delete-rious particle indentification and separation, and material property change identification.

Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS)

Atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) detects elements in either liquid or solid samples through the application of characteristic wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation from a light source. Individual elements will absorb wavelengths differently, and these absorbances are measured against standards. In effect, AAS takes advantage of the different radiation wavelengths that are absorbed by different atoms.

Atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) is an easy, high-throughput, and inexpensive technology used primarily to analyze compounds in solution. As such, AAS is used in food and beverage, water, clinical, and pharmaceutical analysis.

Ultrapure Water Deionizer

Microporous filtration methods include three types: depth, screen, and surface. The depth filter mem-brane is a matrix made of woven fibers or compressed materials, which uses random adsorption or capture methods to retain particles. The mesh filter membrane basically has a uniform structure, just like a sieve, it will retain particles larger than the pore size on the surface (the pore size of this kind of filter membrane is very precise), while the surface filtration is a multilayer Structure, when the solution passes through the filter membrane, particles with larger pores inside the filter membrane will be retained and mainly accumulated on the surface of the filter membrane. Due to the different functions of the above three filter membranes, it is very important to distinguish between the filters. Since deep filtration is a more economical way, it can remove more than 98% of the suspended solids while protecting the downstream purification unit from corruption or blockage, so it is usually used as a pre-filtration treatment. Surface filtration can remove more than 99.99% of suspended solids, so it can also be used for pre-filtration or clarification. Microporous membranes (sieve filters) are generally placed at the final point of use in the purification system to remove the last remaining trace resin

membrane, which can filter all bacteria, is usually used to sterilize intravenous fluids, serum and antibi-otics.

Microwave Digestion

The digestion of solid samples (e.g., plant material, soil, street dust) or liquid samples (especially in the case of high concentrations of dissolved organic components in, e.g., river water, soil-extracts) allows transforming the sample into a form that is suitable for analysis and/or to reduce negative matrix-ef-fects. The combination of high temperature and aggressive reagents allows decomposing the sample and to obtain a clear solution only consisting of inorganic constituents.

Microwave digestion is a common technique used by elemental scientists to dissolve heavy metals in the presence of organic molecules prior to analysis by inductively coupled plasma, atomic absorption, or atomic emission measurements.

Surface Area Analyzer

A typical physisorption analysis starts with degassing of the sample. The desired protocol of heating rates hold times and automatic testing are loaded, and then the iQ takes over. After completing the timed protocol, or sooner if the residual pressure rise passes the user defined test limit, the iQ shuts down the degasser, backfilling the sample cell or leaving it under vacuum if preferred. Comprehensive physisorption calculations include specific surface area (single and multi-point B.E.T., Langmuir, STSA, t-plot, alpha-s, DR), pore size (BJH, DH, DA, MP, HK, SF, Monte-Carlo, NLDFT, QSDFT) with their corre-sponding surface area values, Kr-pore size for thin films, heats of adsorption, plus NK and FHH fractals. The DFT library is the most extensive available commercially; no less than twenty-six statisti-cal mechanics-based models describing different pore shapes, chemical nature of the surface, specif-ic adsorbate and temperature pairs, and unique ability to fundamentally account for surface rough-ness and heterogeneity of real solid surfaces.

UV-Vis Spectrophotometer

In UV-Vis, a beam with a wavelength varying between 180 and 1100 nm passes through a solution in a cuvette. The sample in the cuvette absorbs this UV or visible radiation.The amount of light that is absorbed by the solution depends on the concentration, the path length of the light through the cuvette and how well the analyte the light absorbs at a certain wavelength. The transmittance I/I0 is an indication of the concentration of the analyte in the sample. I/I0 is defined as the transmittance (or transmission) T. If there is no absorption of the light passing through the solution, the transmittance is 100%.The most-used term in UV-Vis spectrometry to indicate the amount of absorbed light is the absor-bance, defined as: A = - log10 T = -log10 (I/I0). 1/T = 10(A).

UV-Vis spectrometry is used as a quick, first non-specific screening of unwanted compounds in water. By measuring the color of process water during the production of drinking water we can determine if there are unwanted compounds in the water. A UV-Vis spectrometer is much more sensitive for color than the human eye. Especially in the UV part of the spectrum it is helpful to perform a measurement since our eye do not see UV-light.

Ion Chromatography

Ion chromatography, a form of liquid chromatography, measures concentrations of ionic species by separating them based on their interaction with a resin. Ionic species separate differently depending on species type and size. Sample solutions pass through a pressurized chromatographic column where ions are absorbed by column constituents. As an ion extraction liquid, known as eluent, runs through the column, the absorbed ions begin separating from the column. The retention time of differ-ent species determines the ionic concentrations in the sample.

Some typical applications of ion chromatography include drinking water analysis for pollution and other constituents, determination of water chemistries in aquatic ecosystems, determination of sugar and salt content in foods and isolation of select proteins.

Soxhlet Apparatus

A Soxhlet extractor is a piece of laboratory apparatus invented in 1879 by Franz von Soxhlet. It was originally designed for the extraction of a lipid from a solid material. However, a Soxhlet extractor is not limited to the extraction of lipids. Typically, a Soxhlet extraction is only required where the desired compound has a limited solubility in a solvent, and the impurity is insoluble in that solvent. If the desired compound has a significant solubility in a solvent then a simple filtration can be used to sepa-rate the compound from the insoluble substance.

Applications for Soxhlet extraction include food testing, biofuels and environmental analysis of soils, sludge, and wastes.OF APPLICATION

High Volume Air Sampler

Suspended particles in the air are sampled at 40 ACFM through the circumferential inlet. The symmet-rical design ensures wind-direction insensitivity, and the Inlet design and internal configuration makes the collection efficiency independent of wind speed from 0 to 36 kilometers per hour. The particles are then accelerated through multiple circular Impactor nozzles. By virtue of their larger momentum, parti-cles greater than the 10-micron impactor cut-point impact onto the greased impaction surface. The device particles smaller than 10 microns are carried vertically upward by the air flow and down multi-ple vent tubes to the 8-inch x 10-inch quartz fiber filter, where they are collected. The large particles settle out in the impaction chamber on the collection shim and are removed/cleaned during prescribed maintenance periods. The quartz fiber filter is weighed before and after sampling. The weight increase is the mass of particles smaller than 10 microns. The mass concentration of the device particles (micrograms per cubic meter) is determined by dividing the particulate mass (micro-grams) by the sampled air volume (cubic meters). The air volume is properly totalized by maintaining a constant flow rate of 40 ACFM with Electronic Mass Flow Controller.

High volume air samplers are used for the collection of airborne particulate matter in ambient air. They are available for the collection of Total Suspended particulates (TSP), particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 10µm, particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of less than 2.5µm, and semi-volatile organic compounds and pesticides (PUF).

The dichotomous air sampler is a dual-filter air sampler for the simultaneous collection of the fine (PM2.5) and the coarse (PM10-2.5) particles contained within PM10. Split flow configuration of the virtual impactor allows a PM10 aerosol to be separated into fine particles and coarse particles for subsequent collection onto 2 separate PTFE membrane filters. The dichotomous air sampler allows differential mass determination between the fine and coarse fractions contained within inhalable particulate matter. This instrument also allows the user to perform chemical analysis comparison of the two size fractionated samples. These unique applications are very important to those interested in source identification or subsequent human health studies.

Rainwater Sampler

The main functions of the system can be divided into five subsystems, the rain water collecting system, the conductivity measurement system, the pH measurement system, the sample preserva-tion system and the data transmission system. The pH measurement system consists of three vessels where two vessels contain deionized water and one vessel with a buffer solution having a pH value of 9.2 ± 0.1. The conductivity measurement system consists of a conductivity probe, a conduc-tivity transmitter and deionized water. Solenoid valves were used to control the flow of liquid to pH and conductivity monitoring chambers. The pH monitoring chamber and the conductivity monitoring chambers were made of glass in order to reduce the contamination of the samples. In addition to pH and conductivity measurement system, a separate rain gauge, temperature sensor, humidity sensor and a barometer were interfaced to the PLC in order to measure the weather conditions.

This Rain Sampler is designed for collecting and sampling composite monthly samples as requested for stable isotope precipitation networks, but it can be used for any purpose rain and snow sampling if you wish to avoid re-evaporation and the use of medicinal paraffin oil, as presence of oil fractions in the water sample can create various problems for laboratory analysis.

Introduction





The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has recently taken serious steps and steps to strengthen its position in science and technolo-

gy, achieve economic renaissance and address the most important problems it faces at the national level.

These efforts stem from the desire of good leadership to move from a natural resource-based economy to an innova-

tion-driven economy through knowledge-based industries that are harnessing and developing Saudi human talent. These

include the establishment of a national innovation system that will involve R & D resources, education and economic institu-

tions in a coordinated and effective strategic manner.





Imam Abdulrahman bin Faisal University (IAU) is one of the 5 top universities in Saudi Arabia and is in the top 20

Saudi Arabia’s research institutions and is known for the diverse specialized laboratories in various fields. IAU is determined

to provide an academic environment in these various fields of sciences by creating ideal environments for research and



a world class scientific research institution. Thus, the units of research units have been established since 1433H with the

Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy

The equipment used in gamma spectroscopy includes an energy-sensitive radiation detector, electronics to process detector signals produced by the detector, such as a pulse sorter (i.e., multi-channel analyzer), and associated amplifiers and data readout devices to generate, display, and store the spectrum. Other components, such as rate meters and peak position stabilizers, may also be included. The most common detectors include sodium iodide (NaI) scintillation counters and high- purity germanium detectors. Gamma spectroscopy system consists of a HPGe detector, high voltage power supply, preamplifier (which is usually sold as part of the detector), amplifier, Analogue to Digital Converter (ADC), and Multi- Channel Analyzer (MCA).

Gamma-ray Spectroscopy used in quantitative study of the energy spectra of gamma-ray sources, such as the nuclear industry, geochemical investigation, and astrophysics.Most radioactive sources produce gamma rays, which have various energies and intensities. When these emissions are detected and analysed with a spectroscopy system, a gamma-ray energy spectrum can be produced. A detailed analysis of this spectrum is typically used to determine the identity and quantity of gamma emitters present in a gamma source and is a vital tool in radiomet-ric assay. The gamma spectrum is characteristic of the gamma-emitting nuclides contained in the source, just as in optical spectroscopy, the optical spectrum is characteristic of the material contained in a sample.

Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)

FTIR Analysis measures the infrared region of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum, which has a longer wavelength and a lower frequency than visible light, and is measurable in a sample when submitted to infrared radiation (IR). The basic theory at work is that the bonds between different elements absorb light at different frequencies.

FTIR spectra reveal the composition of solids, liquids, and gases. The most common use is in the identification of unknown materials and confirmation of production materials (incoming or outgoing). The information content is very specific in most cases, permitting fine discrimination between like materials. The speed of FTIR analysis makes it particularly useful in screening applications, while the sensitivity empowers many advanced research applications.

Monochromator Device

A monochromator is an optical device that separates polychromatic light (such as sunlight or light coming from a lamp) into a range of individual wavelengths (monochromatic light) and allows a narrow band of these individual wavelengths to be selected. The light of the desired wavelength band is then directed onto a sample, a detector or other components of the optical system.

Monochromators are commonly used in measurement devices such as spectrometers or micro-plate readers. They are a popular device for wavelength selection in a range of detection technolo-gies, such as absorption and fluorescence intensity.

Particle Size Measurement

A beam of light of fixed wavelength, projected at a group of dispersed particles will scatter light at different angles depending on their size. Larger particles will scatter light at smaller angles while smaller particles will scatter light at larger angles. A series of detectors measure the intensity of light scattered by the particles and their size is determined using an optical model of light behaviour.

Particle size analysis is used across many areas of science, most notably materials testing, life sciences, food testing, and pharmaceuticals. Particle size analyzers are used to measure the size of everything from cells, to powders used to make foods and pharmaceutical preparations, to nano materials. There are several ways to measure particles size based on the size range and type of particle of interest.

Automated Surface Area Analyzer

High speed and throughput surface area analyzers. The NOVAe series encompasses the first commercial, simultaneous multi-sample, table-top, automatic gas sorption analyzer to include degassing. The instrument gave its name to its patented helium-free No Void Analysis method of analysis, which was subsequently incorporated into other analyzers. Designed with upgradability in mind: Start with one or two analysis stations and add more, up to a total of four, using it in classi-cal helium mode or original NOVA mode. Operated either as stand-alone or with PC. Built-in degas-sing stations mean that you only need to add a vacuum pump and attach nitrogen to have a complete BET area (and mesopore size) analyzer. Just like with our other volumetric analyzers, NOVAe units feature minimum-cold-zone technology, multiple Po modes, multiple gas (argon, carbon dioxide, etc.) capability, and optional 21 CFR part 11 compatibility. Thanks to its small and ergonomic design, quality control, teaching, and R&D labs can all benefit from having one, or more than one, NOVAe analyzer on the bench.

Surface area analyzers help researchers obtain the area or pore size of surfaces on samples as diverse as pharmaceuticals and activated carbon by measuring their gas sorption capabilities. Samples are placed in a sealed chamber and are cleaned through the application of heat, vacuum, and flowing inert gas.

Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS/MS)

The Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) instrument separates chemical mixtures (the GC component) and identifies the components at a molecular level (the MS component). It is one of the most accurate tools for analyzing environmental samples. The GC works on the principle that a mixture will separate into individual substances when heated. The heated gases are carried through a column with an inert gas (such as helium). As the separated substances emerge from the column opening, they flow into the MS. Mass spectrometry identifies compounds by the mass of the analyte molecule. A library of known mass spectra, covering several thousand compounds, is stored on a computer. Mass spectrometry is considered the only definitive analytical detector.

Applications of GC-MS include drug detection, fire investigation, environmental analysis, explosives investigation, and identification of unknown samples.

Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence spectrometers (EDXRF)

This instrument is a commonly used technique for the identification and quantification of elements in a substance. X-Ray Fluorescence spectrometers use high energy X-rays or gamma rays to excite fluorescent radiation (or photons) from a sample for chemical or elemental analysis. In an energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (EDXRF Spectrometer), the fluorescent photons from the irradiated sample are detected without being separated first (as they are in wavelength dispersive XRF spectrometers).

Energy Dispersive XRF Spectrometers are used to analyze solid samples and although they have broad applications as disparate as petrochemical analysis, food safety, and plastics, one of the main attraction of this technique is that it is non-destructive, which makes it very attractive for analysis of samples that are irreplaceable, such as artefacts from an archaeological site.

Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry

Liquid chromatography (LC) is a technique widely used to separate compounds from a sample prior to analysis and is frequently coupled to mass spectrometry. With LC, separation of the sample components is based on the interactions of the compounds with the mobile and station-ary phases, and the degree of compound separation is related to each compound's affinity for the mobile phase. Following chromatographic separations, compounds elute off of the column, desol-vate into the gas phase and ionized at an ionization source and are then introduced into the mass spectrometer for mass analysis.

Used for proteomic analysis of complex samples where peptide masses may overlap even with a high-resolution mass spectrometry.

The TOPwave microwave system is designed for pressure digestionat temperatures up to 230 °C (446 ° F) in continuous use and, depending on the type of vessels employed, pressures up to a max. of 100 bar (1450 psi). TOPwave is a versatile system offering a variety of digestion vessels, fulfilling all requirements of modern applications. Its innovative design combines highest operating comfort with maximum safety and performance. The different vessel types are made of a high performance fluoropolymer, which means long lifetime and few consum-ables. This intelligent vessel design minimizes subsequent costs and simplifies the handling. All vessel types can be opened and closed by hand, without any tools. An optional evaporation unit can be used for sample concentration.

Acid digestion is one of the most important sample preparation techniques. Analytical equipment which is able to determine small concentrations of toxic metals requires a clear, particle-free, slightly acidic solution. Analysis of e.g. food, soil, or pharmaceuticals cannot be done directly; first the sample needs to be transformed into an analyzable liquid. This process is called sample preparation. By means of acid digestion a sample is destroyed or dissolved by the use of acids and only the (trace) metals remain in solution.

Spectro fluorophotometer (RF)

Spectrofluorometer is an instrument that works on the principle of fluorescence spectroscopy. It is a rapid and sensitive method for the characterization of molecular components present in a sample. Fluorescence spectroscopy is a type of electromagnetic spectroscopy which analyzes fluorescent molecules. It exploits the phenomenon of electron excitation upon collision with high energy particles like photons and other excited electrons.

Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) has been used for diagnosing cancer in two ways. The first method involves the systemic administration of a drug like a hematoporphyrin derivative (HpD) which is selectively retained by the tumor. When photo-excited with the light of an appropriate wavelength the drug localized in the tumor fluoresces. This fluorescence is used for the detection and imaging of the tumor. The second method involves photodynamic therapy of the tumor. Photo-excitation leads to the populating of the triplet state via an intersystem crossing. The mole-cule in an excited triplet state can directly react with bio-molecules or lead to the generation of singlet oxygen which is toxic to the host tissue. The resulting destruction of the host tissue is exploited for photodynamic therapy of the tumor.

Ion Chromatography

Ion chromatography, a form of liquid chromatography, measures concentrations of ionic species by separating them based on their interaction with a resin. Ionic species separate differently depending on species type and size. Sample solutions pass through a pressurized chromatographic column where ions are absorbed by column constituents. As an ion extraction liquid, known as eluent, runs through the column, the absorbed ions begin separating from the column. The retention time of differ-ent species determines the ionic concentrations in the sample.

Typical applications of ion chromatography include drinking water analysis for pollution and other constituents, determination of water chemistries in aquatic ecosystems, determination of sugar and salt content in foods and isolation of select proteins.

High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (also called high-pressure liquid chromatogra-phy) is a solution-phase technique for fractionation of complex samples. Unlike standard column chromatography, HPLC is an active process in which materials are pumped at high pressure through the separation column, which contains the so-called “stationary phase” of the separation in the form of densely packed, often chemically functionalized beads. Once introduced to the column, it is the sample’s differential affinity for the solvent (“mobile”) and stationary phases that enables separation to occur, generally with sharper resolution than standard liquid chromatogra-phy. High performance liquid chromatographs can be used for analytical or preparative applica-tions depending on the HPLC pump and the column size. HPLC columns are available in a variety of formats, including reverse phase, ion exchange, and size exclusion, which separate based on polarity, charge, and size, respectively.

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a chromatographic technique used to split a mixture of compounds in the fields of analytical chemistry, biochemistry and industrial. The main purposes for using HPLC are for identifying, quantifying and purifying the individual components of the mixture.

A gas chromatograph separates volatile gaseous compounds carried by an inert gas such as helium, nitrogen, argon or hydrogen across a solid stationary phase. Components in a gas chromatograph include a sample injector, flow controller, GC column, column oven, a detector, and a computer for data acquisition and analysis. A combination of electronic sensors and pumps maintain either a constant or variable mobile phase flow rate from 0.001 to 100 mL per minute. GC instruments typically have a maximum temperature of 350C to 450C.

pGC is widely used in various fields, either to obtain an individual compound for structural identifica-tion or to produce a certain amount of pure compound for application in industrial large-scale prepara-tion. In laboratories, pGC has been a practical tool to prepare small quantities of high purity materials.

CPU

The computer's central processing unit (CPU) is the portion of a computer that retrieves and executes instructions. The CPU is essentially the brain of a CAD system. It consists of an arithmetic and logic unit (ALU), a control unit, and various registers. The CPU is often simply referred to as the processor. The ALU performs arithmetic operations, logic operations, and related operations, according to the program instructions. The control unit controls all CPU operations, including ALU operations, the movement of data within the CPU, and the exchange of data and control signals across external interfaces (system bus). Registers are high-speed internal memory-storage units within the CPU. Some registers are user-visible; that is, available to the programmer via the machine instruction set. Other registers are dedicated strictly to the CPU for control purposes. An internal clock synchronizes all CPU components. The clock speed (number of clock pulses per second) is measured in megahertz (MHz) or millions of clock pulses per second. The clock speed essentially measures how fast an instruction the CPU processes.

A central processing unit (CPU) is the electronic circuitry within a computer that carries out the instruc-tions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetic, logical, control and input/output (I/O) operations specified by the instructions.

External SSD

SSDs use a type of memory called "flash memory," which is similar to RAM-but unlike RAM, which clears its data whenever the computer powers down, the data on an SSD persists even when it loses power. SSDs use a grid of electrical cells to quickly send and receive data. These grids are separated into sections called "pages," and these pages are where data is stored. Pages are clumped together to form "blocks."

They store data and files for long-term use.OF APPLICATIONFIELD

LCR Meter

LCR meters are measuring instruments that measure a physical property known as impedance. Impedance, which is expressed using the quantifier Z, indicates resistance to the flow of an AC current. It can be calculated from the current I flowing to the measurement target and the voltage V across the target’s terminals. Since impedance is expressed as a vector on a complex plane, LCR meters measure not only the ratio of current and voltage RMS values, but also the phase difference between current and voltage waveforms.

LCR meters are typically used to measure a range of parameters on magnetics, such as impedance, inductance and resistance.

OF APPLICATIONFIELD

SYSTEM


The Principle of UV-Visible Spectroscopy is based on the absorption of ultraviolet light or visible light by chemical compounds, which results in the production of distinct spectra. Spectroscopy is based on the interaction between light and matter. When the matter absorbs the light, it undergoes excitation and de-excitation, resulting in the production of a spectrum. When matter absorbs ultraviolet radiation, the electrons present in it undergo excitation. This causes them to jump from a ground state to an excited state.

UV-Visible spectroscopy is widely used in the field of analytical chemistry, especially during the quantitative analysis of a specific analyte. For example, the quantitative analysis of transition metal ions can be achieved with the help of UV-Visible spectroscopy. Furthermore, the quantitative analysis of conjugated organic compounds can also be done with the help of UV-Visible spectroscopy. It can also be noted that this type of spectroscopy can also be carried out on solid and gaseous analytes in some conditions.

SYSTEM

FITR Spectrophotometer

FTIR analysis measures the range of wavelengths in the infrared region that are absorbed by a material. This is accomplished through the application of infrared radiation (IR) to samples of a material. The sample’s absorbance of the infrared light’s energy at various wavelengths is measured to determine the material’s molecular composition and structure.

FTIR is useful in identifying and characterizing unknown materials, detecting contaminants in a material, finding additives, and identifying decomposition and oxidation.
