Publication of NITUB

NITUB updates its major activities on its official website ( www.nitub.org). NITUB published a few user’s manuals such as :

Basic Electronics,
Common Laboratory Equipment,
Atomic absorption spectrometer (AAS)) `

In addition to these manuals NITUB also publishes Brochure, Constitution, Profile, manual on instrumentation each year. NITUB distributed soft copies of circulars of all virtual workshops to relevant persons and also posted on the website.

Fabrication of Low- cost Equipment:

NITUB has initiated the fabrication of low-cost laboratory equipment aimed at supporting higher secondary schools and colleges. In 2022, NITUB engineers successfully developed two essential instruments — a pH meter and a conductivity meter. The engineers assembled the hardware modules and carried out the necessary programming of the instruments in-house. Initial performance results were satisfactory, demonstrating reliable module connectivity and accurate measurement outputs.

Currently, NITUB engineers are preparing to conduct field testing of these two low-cost instruments. It is anticipated that the pH meter and conductivity meter will soon be provided to selected schools or colleges for practical evaluation in real laboratory settings. Based on the feedback and performance reports from these institutions, NITUB plans to proceed with further fabrication and wider distribution of the equipment, contributing to improved access to affordable laboratory facilities in educational institutions.

Contractual Service

By creating skilled manpower and making non-functioning instruments working again NITUB has generated awareness among the scientific community. This achievement of NITUB has created interest to both in the public and private sectors. Thus, NITUB is getting requests to make Contractual Service with public and private organizations to repair their nonfunctioning scientific equipment. Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and Production Company Limited (BAPEX) of the Government of Bangladesh has signed an agreement with NITUB for maintenance and repair of their instruments on an yearly basis. Novartis has just sent a request for such contractual service for their HPLC machines. Discussion with more organizations is going on for similar contracts with NITUB for maintenance and repair of their instruments.

Installation of Scientific Instruments

NITUB provides installation of laboratory instruments for universities, scientific institutes, and research organizations. Our services include instrument setup and performance verification.We have extensive experience with instruments such as:

AAS, HPLC, IR and some common laboratory equipment of the Department of Livestock Services, Government of Bangladesh.
IR & HPLC in the Department of Chemistry, Rajshahi University.

GC, GC-MS and X-ray generators at the Department of Chemistry, University of Dhaka.

Day-long workshops and short training sessions

NITUB also arranges day-long workshops and short training sessions for faculties, students, and technical personnel. The workshops primarily focus on the commissioning, handling, maintenance, and troubleshooting of common laboratory equipment. NITUB has organized such workshops at :

Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) Mymensingh – 2202, Bangladesh.

Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University.Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka-1207, Bangladesh
