UV-Spectrophotometer Missing! Get Rewarded for Returning Back the UV-Spectrophotometer

No Comments

It is unfortunate that our UV-Spectrophotometer has disappeared from the lab. Since it is a small and portable equipment, the UV-Spectrophotometer is easily brought out from the lab unnoticed. We are going to reward RM100 to anybody who can help us return or provide information on the missing UV-Spectrophotometer. Please contact Prof. NASA, Zaki, Yani or any CREG member if you have information about the missing UV-Spectrophotometer.

For your information the UV-Spectrophotometer is a photometer (a device for measuring light intensity) that can measure intensity as a function of the color, or more specifically, the wavelength of light. In CREG lab, Uv-Spectrophotometer used to measure the Kappa Number of EPFB in order to evaluate the lignin content of the samplw. Besides, it also being used for enzyme-related research.

This was followed with presentation by Yani, our latest Ph.D student who was also recently completed her Masters degree with CREG.

After several students presentation, Dr. Kawamoto provides his briefing about their research group in Kyoto Universiti.

Everybody were paying extra attention because the research culture in Japan is really different than us in Malaysia.

Visit by Former CREG student, Dr. Istadi from Universiti Diponogoro (UNDIP), Indonesia

No Comments

Dr. Istadi paid a short but fruitful visit on the 4th of November 2010. Dr. Istadi was a Ph.D student with CREG from 2002 to 2006 and has produced a total of 9 refereed journal within that time. It was really good to have Dr. Istadi around, even for a short time. We hope CREG can collaborate with Dr. Istadi soon in future.
