The Chemistry Department has a number of sophisticated instruments to cater the research requirements. Presently, GC-MS & LC-MS Spectrometers, CHNS Analyzer, TGA-DTA, DSC-FTIR, X-Ray Diffractometer, NMR Machines (60 & 300 MHz), Electrochemical Workstation, GC, Spectrometer, FT-IR Spectrometer, Mossbauer Spectrometer, Tensile Testing Machine, Fluorescence Spectrometer, Laser Light Scattering Machine, Polarized Optical Microscope are housed in the department. Dedicated technicians have been appointed to operate instruments and take care of their maintenance.
The research output in terms of publications is one of the strongest points of the Chemistry Department. During the last five years over 800 research papers have been published in journals international repute. At present 132 M.Phil, and 122 Ph.D. students are enrolled while about 40 M.Phil, and 15 Ph.D. students pass out from the department in each year.
The department has reached to its present level by receiving funding from UNDP and from Japanese and German governments. On the national platform, the Higher Education Commission and Pakistan Science Foundation have been instrumental by helping in the procurement of equipment and to build and renovate infrastructural facilities. In its present configuration, the department is a strong institution in the country for the postgraduate teaching and research in chemistry.
