Biosensor Laboratory

The Biosensor Laboratory offers a fully equipped, hands‑on environment where students develop essential laboratory skills while manufacturing and testing advanced biomedical materials using specialist equipment.

About the facility

The lab is equipped with all necessary tools for biomedical engineering education.

Students gain hands-on experience in fundamental laboratory skills like weighing, measuring, and liquid handling. They also learn advanced techniques, such as manufacturing medical-grade hydrogels. These hydrogels undergo evaluation for water permeability on our optical tensiometer or undergo rigorous testing on a micro-scale mechanical tester until their limits are reached.

This comprehensive facility offers a platform for students to explore and develop their understanding of biomedical engineering through practical experimentation and analysis.
