The teaching laboratories dedicated to students enrolled in the Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes of the Department of Chemical, Biological, Pharmaceutical and Environmental Sciences (ChiBioFarAm) are located in Building B of the Polo Papardo Campus (Viale F. Stagno d'Alcontres, 31 – 98168 Messina).
The teaching laboratories constitute an integral component of the academic curriculum and provide an in-depth exploration of theoretical and methodological knowledge. They offer students the opportunity to acquire hands-on experience in scientific investigation methodologies in the fields of chemistry, biology, pharmaceutical sciences, and environmental research, by using sophisticated, modern, and technological advanced equipment.
Laboratory experience represents a fundamental educational asset for students in scientific degree programmes, particularly in view of future professional practice.
The infrastructure, instrumentation, and technical support for teaching laboratory activities are also shared with some degree programmes of the Departments of Biomedical, Dental and Morphological and Functional Imaging Sciences, Clinical and Experimental Medicine, and Veterinary Sciences.
Teaching laboratory activities are coordinated by two working groups — Lab didattici Bio (labdidatticibio@unime.it) and Lab Didattici Chimici (labdidatticichimici@unime.it) — responsible for ensuring the scheduling and management of teaching laboratories and their associated equipment.
Activities:
- Scheduling and management of teaching laboratories and available equipment, including ordering of consumable materials and verification of their utilisation in compliance with safety regulations.
- Structural efficiency and functionality of laboratories, including preparation of equipment required for the practical sessions.
- Inventory management and centralised storage of reagents used in practical sessions.
Description of Teaching Laboratories:
The degree programmes of the ChiBioFarAm Department provide students with access to laboratories equipped with individual workstations.
Additional basic instrumentation — including refrigerators, freezers, distilled water generators, ice-makers, analytical and technical balances, rotary mixers, rotary evaporators, pH meters, and heating mantles — is shared across communal spaces.
