The President of the University of Samarra opens a modern research laboratory at the university

Under the direction and guidance of the President of the University, Prof. Dr. Sabah Allawi Al-Samarrai, and supervision and follow-up of the Dean of the College of Applied Sciences, Assistant Professor Dr. Aiser Saleh Muhammad, in a qualitative step within the path of advancement that the University of Samarra seeks at various levels, the central laboratory was opened after completing the necessary procedures for its operation and the laboratory equipment attached to all the efforts and qualification by a specialized committee headed by Dr. Harith Jamil.
The reconstruction process in its early stages included providing many laboratory reliability requirements and good laboratory specifications, such as adding vacuums equipped with a chemical filtration system for gases and fumes to preserve the environment and prevent pollution and equipping the laboratory with fire extinguishers in addition to establishing a warehouse outside the laboratory to store the cylinders of ethylene and oxygen gas and with thermal insulation specifications.
While the second phase included maintenance, operation, and calibration of the equipment in the laboratory
The third phase was concluded with the installation and connection of the solar energy system to provide the laboratory with clean and environmentally friendly electrical energy and to ensure the continuation of the electrical current to the devices.
It is expected that this laboratory will be a magnet for many researchers and graduate students from all universities and research centers in Iraq, as it contains advanced equipment at the country level,
At the end of the opening, the President appreciated the efforts of those in charge, starting with the Dean of the College, the assistants, and the team.
He urged researchers to invest in this lab to supplement scientific output with rigorous scientific research.

We mention to the researchers some laboratory devices.
