Welcome to the
Patheon Pharmaceutics Teaching Laboratory
Located
on the 8th floor of the Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy on the St George
Campus of the
University of Toronto, we are dedicated to providing students with
expert knowledge and the opportunity for observing pharmaceutics
principles in action.
This website
contains vital tools for performing pharmaceutics laboratories in our
teaching areas of interest: safety, proper technique, and online tools
to perform calculations such as regression and graphical
representation. Visit our downloads
section for Excel spreadsheets and other useful tools which will help
you complete lab exercises.
An online list of
the PB860 Chemical Inventory
is available. These chemicals are accessible for formulations
projects.
Recently, the Joint
Health and Safety Committee of the
Leslie Dan Faculty of Pharmacy released Standard
Operating Procedures applicable
to matters relating to health and
safety.
Online
Instruction
A
series of
illustrated, step-by-step, easy-to-follow instruction
manuals has been created for key
pharmaceutics instrumentation in the laboratory. Having access to these
manuals will help you understand some operating nuances, as well as
limitations and issues in compounding.
In addition, a video
series has been created to
illustrate laboratory-specific techniques, such as calibrating a pH
meter and operating a spectrophotometer. These tools will assist you in
reaching the course objectives and reduce the necessity for starting
over in the laboratory due to operator error and
improper procedure.
