REPORT OF SKILL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME ON “HPLC and Spectro-photometric analysis of synthetic and biological compounds”
Date: 23rd -25th October 2019
The Skill Development Programme was conducted by the School of Applied Sciences, REVA University in association with Azyme Bioscience Pvt. Ltd. for the 1st year M.Sc. students (68) on 23rd -25th October 2019. The SDP was conducted on “HPLC and Spectro-photometric analysis of synthetic and biological compounds”. The resource persons for the day were Dr. Mahesh M (CEO, Azyme Bioscience), Dr. Ramachandra R, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Biotechnology and Dr. Prabhakar Mishra, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Biotechnology.
DAY 1-On the first day students were given analytical training to regarding the spectroscopic instruments (UV Spectroscopy) and its working. The students learned about various concepts of photometry, Wavelength scanning and kinetics study.
DAY 2-On the second day the concept of HPLC (High performance liquid chromatography) was being taught and students were trained for the various concepts of HPLC like mobile phase preparation, purging , sample loading generation of chromatogram, detection of retention time peak and interpretation of results using the eluted peaks for the standards and samples.
Day 3 – On the third day, guest lecture was delivered by Dr. Mahesh M, CEO Azyme Bioscience Pvt. Ltd. Post lecture session the students were trained for the interpretation of results obtained from HPLC and UV spectroscopy. The session ended with feedback session.
Students enthusiastically participated in the two day SDP programme. The session concluded with the information on the applications of these techniques in the field of life Sciences.
