The Biomedical Instrumentation Lab provides more knowledge on designing, developing, conducting and implementing biological experiments on physiological signals involving biomedical instrumentation. The equipment used in this laboratory are used to measure, analyze the bio-signals produced by human body. Instruments in the laboratory are used to measure, store and analyze the signals produced by biomedical phenomena. This helps to familiarize students with the basic design and implementation of techniques for measuring a broad scope for physiological research. This helps the students for basic design and development on projects.
The lab is to provide practice and training for the students on all major diagnostic and therapeutic equipment. It involves recording and analysis of different Bio potentials and to study the various applications of ultrasound in the field of medicine. It is also aimed to give overall idea about the clinical applications and transmission of biosignals using telemetry techniques, sources of leakage current and methods used for monitoring leakage current. This in turn reduces the work of a physician in diagnosing and treating. It also imparts knowledge on the basics, thereby aiming for a rapid progress in the field of biomedical engineering in the near future.
The Laboratory course provides to train students towards the essential concepts of classical biochemistry with a more research knowledge that introduces standard biochemical fundamental laboratory techniques and physiological examinations in the context of investigating various disease conditions. Techniques include biochemical analysis of biological samples, to emphasize the isolation, identification, and analysis of proteins, lipids, and purification of amino acids and DNA, kinetic activity assays, virtual spectrophotometer, analysis of visual activity. Human physiology lab imparts knowledge on all important physiological systems like cardiovascular system, respiratory system, nervous system, skeletal system etc. This lab exposes students to an active learning environment to teach the basic principles of human physiology and human anatomy with hands on opportunity on physiological monitoring equipment.
The Pathology laboratory is equipped with completely automated instruments, cell counters for carrying out haematological investigations such as haemoglobin, total and differential leukocyte counts, platelets count, red cell indices accurately. Various bacterial and pathological studies in these labs facilitate students to understand the bio-compatibility of implants. The microbiology lab is equipped to carry out aerobic and anaerobic culturing using incubators and laminar flow hood. Detection of specific antibodies against different infecting organism (bacteria, fungi, parasites and virus) and auto immune diseases are carried out both by conventional & ELISA system. The course structure consists of both theoretical and hands-on-training. It includes the entire process of routine clinical microbiology and pathology examinations.
