To keep up with its constant improvement and academic quality, the university acquired new equipment for its life sciences laboratories, for cosmetology and pharmaceutical technology.
 
The new equipment will mostly benefit students from biotechnology and environmental engineering. 
 
The equipment:
 
- Premium R Viscosimeter: instrument used to measure the viscosity and flow parameters of a fluid, for example, in creams and ointments.
 
- Water bath: complementary equipment used with viscometers and other accessories.
 
- Colorimeter: Used to analyze food, cosmetic powders and pastes, it has an ergonomic angle of view to allow measurements in optical cells. It also allows to establish and maintain color standards throughout the manufacturing process of this type of products.
 
- Mixer: instrument used to mix elements of different types with strong white nylon lining.
 
- Corneometer: non-invasive bioengineering device that has several accessories used to measure parameters such as: hydration, pH and skin fat.
 
- Encapsulator: semiautomatic equipment ideal for encapsulating powders and granules.
 
- Autoclave: instrument used to sterilize surgical equipment.
 
- Laminar flow chamber: allows to obtain a sterile and safe area for experiments and analysis within a laboratory.
 
- Electronic microscope: optical instrument to amplify the image of different elements.
 
The new laboratories improve the university's technological capacity and gives students and professors better conditions
