Eminent College of Pharmaceutical Technology
started its journey in the field of Pharmacy with a definite mission, to impart quality education among the students and extend the benefits of technology to the society. ECPT is committed to provide excellent environment for the teaching-learning process and career planning. The journey began with fine infrastructure and the motto of becoming a pioneer pharmaceutical institute in India. Currently, we have established Central Instrumentation Facility (CIF) (under Central Research Facilitities program) which consist of the following instruments: UV spectroscopy, High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), PCR, Biochemistry analyser, ELISA plate reader, DNA gel electrophoresis, Cooling centrifuge, Lyophilizer, Brookfield Viscometer. Our institution will provide service to outside users like universities, colleges and research laboratories with a minimal charges
Objectives:
- To carry out analysis of samples received from the Faculty members/Research Scholars of the academic institutions/other organizations.
- To support and promote the research activities among students, researchers and faculties.
