Analytical Chemistry Labs
Research in analytical chemistry is essential for developing new approaches to address various qualitative and quantitative aspects of the ecological, clinical bio-materials along with Nano-sciences and to provide the tools for chemical analysis and testing of living organism by active molecules and various materials at trace and ultra-trace levels. As a result, there is great demand for well-educated analytical chemists in the academia, health and industrial sectors. The student space in each lab is three meter square (3 m2) for each student, Analytical chemistry staff in the Department of Chemistry has various significant instruments for purifying and analyzing of unknown sample, the instruments in these Labs are; gas chromatography (GC), Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (AES), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Analytical labs are classified as:
Biochemistry Labs
Department of Chemistry has an excellent staff in Biochemistry with department members from the areas of analytical, inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry involved in such studies, also like analytical Labs, the student space in each lab is three meter square (3 m2) for one student, the instruments in these Labs are Eppendorf cooling centrifuge, Agitator Barnstead thermolyne, Cary win UV-Visible spectrometer, Astell scientific laboratory autoclave, Bioclave autoclave, and Fermenter, Standard Pressure Homogenizer and Classic prestige medical autoclave. The Biochemistry Labs are:
Inorganic Chemistry Labs:
The inorganic group is a successful and energetic group in the Chemistry department. There are a number of diverse research opportunities involving inorganic chemistry at the University of Sulaimani. Research in inorganic labs focuses on the development of new photoactive inorganic materials, Ionic liquids, Analyzing metals in living organisms, synthesis of organometallic catalysts and transition-metal catalysts for industrial applications, the student space in each lab is three meter square (3 m2) per one student, the instruments are; Conductometer, Spectrophotometer, UV-light for TLC testing, Melting point analyzer, Glove Box, pH meter, Ion meter, Hot plat shaker and Glass distillation apparatus. The inorganic Labs are:
Organic chemistry Labs are focuses mainly on carbon-rich molecules. Most molecules found in nature and molecules that modulate the function of natural compounds are organic compounds. Organic synthesis plays a prominent role in the research programs of the Department members. Some develop new catalysts for the synthesis of organic and inorganic compounds. Others use some chemical transformation reagents in the process of drug discovery process. The student space in each lab is two meter square (2 m2) per one student, the instruments in the Labs are; Infra-red (IR) instrument, Circulating cooler, UV-Light (Lamp), Infra-red Oven, Polarimetry instrument and Ultrasonic processors. Organic chemistry labs are classified as:
The Labs activities will certainly support students to learn about polymeric materials. Research in polymers is aided by polymer Labs user which facilitate by the Department, the student space in each lab is two meter square (2 m2) for one student. The main instruments in these Labs are Incubator, Agitator and Molecular weight analyzer machine. The polymer Labs are:
Physical Chemistry Labs:

These Labs are used by all research groups in the Department; the main instruments in these Labs are CHNS-O analyzer, GC-MS-MS machine, TG/DTA analyzer, FTIR, Arc spectrometer, Ion chromatography, GC (micro column) for air samples, Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), NMR 300 MHz machine andinductivelycoupled plasma (ICP), the student space in each lab is three meter square (3 m2) for one student, these labs are:
 
 
Petroleum Chemistry Labs:
Petroleum Chemistry labs are used by industrial and petroleum chemistry undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers, in these Labs a number of separation techniques are used by researchers to separate a mixture of crude oil to its components and to test the quality of petroleum products, the instruments are; Octane number analyzer, Auto distillation unit, Pour point and flash point closed cup. Crude oil is a mixture of different hydrocarbons, the most common hydrocarbons found in the chemistry of petroleum are alkanes, these are also sometimes knows as linear or branched hydrocarbons. A significant percentage of the remaining compound is the made up of cycloalkanes and aromatic hydrocarbons. The student space in each lab is three meter square (3 m2) for one student, these labs are:
There are some other Labs in the Department which are used currently by the department staff and students such as:
