Modern Laboratories is a WHO-GMP and ISO-certified facility, setting the gold standard for pharmaceutical manufacturing in central India. During the visit, students explored multiple departments, each offering a unique educational experience.

🔬 Quality Control (QC) Department
The QC laboratory was a highlight for students who had studied analytical techniques in class. They saw these concepts translated into real-world precision instruments:
- HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) - for purity testing and quantitative analysis
- UV-Visible Spectrophotometers - used for drug identification and concentration measurement
- Chromatography principles from Pharmacognosy classes were visually confirmed
- Dissolution testing apparatus, FTIR instruments, and microbiology labs were also explored

Industry experts at Modern Laboratories conducted a dedicated session on their QA protocols. Students gained first-hand knowledge of:
- Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) as enforced by WHO and Schedule M of the Drugs & Cosmetics Act
- Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for every manufacturing step
- Batch documentation, record-keeping, and deviation management
- Environmental monitoring in cleanrooms and contamination control

A pleasant surprise awaited students in the form of a beautifully curated medicinal garden maintained by Modern Laboratories.
