INFORMATION
The Bioprocessing Laboratory is committed to advancing the ideals of Biosystems
Engineering, combining basic science of biology with engineering principles.
In an effort to minimize waste and determine methods to recycle these materials,
problem sources of interest are identified and environmentally sound solutions
are then sought. This laboratory evaluates the application of using various
types of organisms to produce beneficial products. The lab is involved in
the research and development of methods that involve extraction, purification,
and the qualitative and quantitative analysis of various compounds produced
by means of fermentation.
The Bioprocessing laboratory also plays a role in providing students with
hands on experience in research that compliments their classroom studies.
The lab environment is geared towards encouraging active learning and enhancing
the student’s performance skills. In a broader context, students seeking
a secondary degree are provided with research projects that will enable them
to not only refine their analytical skills, but also obtain practical real
world research experience. The goal of this laboratory is to design methods
that will help to preserve and make the best use of our natural resources.
Ultimately, the research work performed in this lab will enable us to apply
what has been learned to help solve various problems in the agriculture and
food industries.
The Bioprocessing lab at Sockwell collaborates with various laboratories
on NC A&T’s campus: Analytical Services Laboratory and Food Safety
Microbiology Laboratory are both located at Carver Hall
