Chemistry Laboratory

Chemistry laboratory consists of Basic Chemistry Laboratory, Inorganic Chemistry and Biochemistry are important medium for education, research, service, and quality control. With these four functions, it is clear that the existence of Chemistry Laboratory in Higher Education (PT) is very vital, mainly for Higher Education which has exact faculty. This is to support the implementation of Tri Dharma of Perguruan Tinggi consisting of education, research, and community service.

Chemistry is a science which is based on experiment, so the relation between theory and practice is so close.

The purposes of chemistry laboratory are:

As illustration of principles in theory,
As the framer of scientific attitude,
As skill developer, that is in order to make practiced student be able and skillful in operating tools, handling chemistry substance, teaching experiments and chemistry measurement.
To get chemistry practice experience as the basis of doing further research in accordance with the background of each person's skill.

Thus, besides as the place to hold student chemistry practicum, chemistry laboratory also has function as the place to conduct research; student research (Final assignment), lecturer research, and public service facility, that is for the public outside the university, both for education, for quality control, etc.

Practicum specification at Chemistry Laboratory is in accordance with Department and Faculty:

No.	Practicum	Part of Courses	Courses Code	Faculty / Department	Smt
1.	Basic Chemistry I	§ Basic Chemistry	033444	Bio./FKIP	I
2.	Inorganic Chemistry	§ Inorganic Chemistry	071203	Agro./FP	I
		§ Inorganic Chemistry	072205	Sosek./FP	I
		§ Inorganic Chemistry	073203	THP/FP	I

Tools owned by Chemistry laboratory of UMM now is still oriented in practicum service and for basic research and still needs correction, consummation, and improvement in accordance with future demand. Meanwhile, medium and infrastructure (tool/material inventory) can be seen directly in laboratory, because the items are so many, thus it is impossible to be accomodated there.

The use of laboratory service this time is still limited on: a.) new student research both in the form of general research and research for final assignment, b. ) Lecturer research, and c.) general service, for certain tests that can be conducted in Chemistry laboratory, for example, water quality control, etc.

Now, chemistry laboratory is used by four faculties, they are:Faperta, Fapet, FTTE, and Engineering Faculty, so the direction of the improvement is rather difficult because each faculty has importance, specification, and different direction improvement. Besides, the chemistry department which hasn't existed also becomes another difficulty.

Generally, for short term, this laboratory:

Can fulfill practicum needs from four faculties above with wider experiment variation and has high suitability with theory in lecturing and can fulfill bachelor profession demand of each department/faculty, and
Can fulfill wider basic research needs both for student and lecturer research.

Meanwhile, in long term, this laboratory is expected to be able to fulfill further research needs, can function as analytical service both internal campus and public and for quality control from industrial products, etc.
