The lab, intending to
conduct research on nutraceutical, designing and producing nanosensors
detecting for adulteration and pesticide residue detection in food products,
nano composites, Nano coating and Nano packaging for food industry meeting
international standards_ was equipped and established.
The lab privileged by state of the art devices and competent
faculty members as well as lab technicians is prepared to collaborate with
universities, research institutes and food industries to conduct joint research
projects or provide professional consultancy to industries. Some of the
services given by the lab are nanocoating, size and molecular mass
determination, zeta potential for nano and micro particles, monitoring release
profile in intestinal and gastric simulated environment, monitoring the nano
catalysis activities of Nano particles, Nano coaters, homogenizing suspensions
applying ultrasound probe, assessing electrochemical (voltammetry, amperometry,
impedance). The lab enjoys such devices as spin coater, DLS, Ultra-TURRAX
homogenizer. Moreover, this lab as the Iran Laboratory Nanotechnology Network
member not only provides the afore-mentioned services, but also establishes
bridges between experts and student and food industry insiders.
