Network of Instrument Technical personnel and User scientists of Bangladesh (NITUB)

(A Network Supported by International Science Programme (ISP) under the International Programme in the Chemical Science (IPICS), Uppsala University, Sweden.)

The registration number of NITUB is S-7887(1077)08.

Training programmes

One of the main objectives of NITUB is to organize training programmes / Workshop on modern scientific and analytical instrumentation. Since its inception in July 1994, NITUB has been conducting a wide range of specialized training programmes for scientists, engineers, researchers, academicians, laboratory personnel, and industrial professionals.Over the years, NITUB has successfully organized training programmes on advanced analytical instruments such as:

  • Infrared, Ultra violet & Visible Spectrophotometers (IR & UV-VIS)
  • Gas Chromatograph (GC),
  • Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS),
  • High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC),
  • Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS),
  • X-ray Powder diffraction technique (XRPD)
  • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectrometer.
  • Liquid chromatography (LC) tandem mass spectrometry (MS)
  • Common laboratory equipment
  • Common medical equipment
  • Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectrometry (ICPMS)

For user scientists and technical personnel to update their knowledge and improve their skill on the use of the equipment. Training programmes are generally limited to 15-20 participants and are run for 5-6 days. Four-six such programmes/workshops are run pre year. Eich programme includes both theoretical and practical sessions. Circular of training programme is posted in NITUB’s website (www.nitub.org) as well as hard copies are sent to research organizations and universities by post.

So far, NITUB has conducted 89 th such training programmes through which 1361 scientists, young faculty members, graduate students and technical personnel have been trained. (Details of all training programmes listted  in a [Table ,PDF).  and also shared in the Bar diagram bellow.

The figure below shows a bar chart of the training programmes conducted by NITUB up to 14 June 2026. The number displayed at the top of each bar represents the total number of trainees, while the number shown below each programme indicates the total number of training programmes conducted.

NITUB is continuously getting requests from young scientists and technical personnel to conduct training programmes more frequently to train more scientists and technical personnel so that they can take care of their laboratories. NITUB will continue to conduct such training programmes.

A few examples of brochures are given below. Interested persons may kindly click on the following links to obtain detailed information about each training programme brochure.

Seminar/Lecture on recent advancement on instrumental techniques, 2025 – May 2026

 In AGM-2024, NITUB decided to organize lecture series on recent advancement in instrumental techniques

Virtual Workshop of NITUB conducted during March 2020 – August 2021

  • During COVID 19 pandemic, the programmes of NITUB of 2020 could not be organised as per the plan. NITUB then decided to organise virtual workshops; six virtual workshops were conducted from October 2020 – August 2021.
  • One hundred thirty-nine (139) participants (Bangladesh, Laos, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Somalia ) attended the programmes. Faculty members, post-graduate students, scientists and technical personnel participated virtually in these training programmes. After COVID-19 pandemic NITUB started its normal activities from November 2021.
