JIRCAS Installs High Performance Liquid Chromatography in Department of Microbiology
Japan International Research Centre for Agricultural Sciences
(JIRCAS) has installed an ultra modern High Performance Liquid Chromatography
(HPLC) in the Department of Microbiology, University of Nigeria Nsukka.
The donation was a fall out of on-going research
collaboration between JIRCAS and the University of Nigeria on “Estimation of
amounts of available bio-resources in Nigeria, and development of fermentation
technology for biomass utilization” Read More at: https://danelite.blogspot.com.ng/
The HPLC, which has a Refractive Index Detector, can be used
for quantitative determination of alcohols and sugars, from various samples.
The Department also used the opportunity to service another HPLC which had not
been functional in the Department.
The serviced HPLC has Infra Red detector and can be used to
measure many organic compounds. Prior to the installation, there was no
functional HPLC in the University and the installation of the two HPLCs is
expected to enhance research in Bio-Sciences in the University. Read More at: https://danelite.blogspot.com.ng/
The Vice Chancellor, Prof Benjamin Ozumba, thanked JIRCAS for
the good gesture and promised that University of Nigeria will do her best to
encourage and sustain research collaborations between the two Institutions.He also
expressed his interest in Bio-energy production.
Responding, Dr Omae of JIRCAS expressed the willingness of
his organization to collaborate on the bio-energy project and suggested that
the University and JIRCAS should write a joint proposal and seek sponsorship
from Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Read More at: https://danelite.blogspot.com.ng/
