Temasek Applied Science Research Centre
This is a 1,400 m2 centralised location for major research activities in chemical and life sciences within the School. Its state-of-the-art facilities promote inter-disciplinary research among staff and collaborative work with the industry and institutions of higher learning. The centre comprises various laboratory facilities such as a Certified Class 10,000 lab, Bio-Safety Labs, Analytical Testing & Services Labs, Nutrition Counselling Room and various specialised research labs for Traditional Chinese Medicine, proteomics, fermentation and plant biotechnology.
KoolWerkz Training Factory
An off-campus training factory for ice cream production, KoolWerkz provides a hands-on training approach for entrepreneurship development. Together with TP’s Entrepreneurship Centre, it offers learning opportunities to all TP students in technical or business related fields. Here, students learn about ice cream processing, inventory management, HACCP, quality control and assurance, logistics and marketing functions as in real business scenarios.
Membrane Technology Facility
This facility, housed in the Chemical Pilot Plant in the School, is well-equipped to train students in membrane technology and embark on consultancy projects for our industrial partners. Major membrane equipment includes the NEWater pilot system and the Nanofiltration/Reverse Osmosis (NF/RO) membrane skid. The facility is also equipped with other conventional water and liquid waste treatment equipment such as jar test units, ion-exchange systems, filter press, activated carbon bed, etc.
Nanotechnology Research Facility
This facility is equipped with the basic equipment for the fabrication of inorganic nanoparticles and their surface modification for a variety of applications. It provides staff and students with the opportunity to be directly involved in the emerging field of nanotechnology, i.e., R&D at the atomic, molecular or macromolecular levels. It involves creating and using structures, devices and systems that have novel properties and functions due to their small sizes.
Food Product Development Facility
This facility enables the formulation of products like drinks, spreads, baked products, desserts and sauces. It supports the School’s frozen dessert capabilities by developing prototypes for our training factory. It also has a catering kitchen that scales up foodservice recipes for mass production. To complete the product development process, the School has a state-of-the-art sensory laboratory which has booths equipped with coloured lights, sinks and computer terminals.
Nutrition Assessment Facility
This facility comprises a counselling and observation room equipped with sophisticated facilities for focus group discussions and nutrition counselling sessions. It allows for anthropometric assessments like skinfold measurement and bioelectrical impedance analysis and dietary assessments to be conducted. This facility serves to provide a realistic training ground for students and has the capacity to undertake nutrition research projects.
Proteomics Research Facility
This facility positions the School as a centre for proteomics R&D and training. It is equipped with instruments for protein prefractionation, 2D gel analysis, two-dimensional high performance liquid chromatography, gel spot cutting/ processing and protein identification (via mass spectrometry) so as to provide the capability to perform the main steps of a proteomics workflow. The facility also has the capabilities for molecular and biochemical analysis of the identified proteins.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Research Facility
This facility serves as a training ground for students conducting project work under the different research schemes offered by the School. It is also used for staff and consultancy projects as well as collaborative projects with other research groups. The facility is fully equipped with research instruments including High Performance Liquid Chromatography with UV and light scattering detector, Ion-Trapped Liquid Chromatography - Mass Spectrometer (LC-MS) with a nitrogen generator and Flash Chromatography.
Temasek Animal Facility
Comprising two workstations, namely the Laboratory Animal Workstation and the Aquaculture Workstation, this facility provides a conducive training environment for students to learn essential skills related to both aquaculture and laboratory animal science and technology.
Plant Tissue Culture Training Facility
This facility serves as a platform for students to acquire knowledge of operation for the mass propagation of tissue culture plantlets in an actual production environment. Here, students are not only trained in specific tissue culture laboratory skills, they are also exposed to the process and workflow in a real-life production environment. In this way, they can better appreciate the industrial applications of different laboratory techniques taught in class.
TP Herb Gardens
With a collection of more than 200 species of medicinal plants, the gardens are part of the School’s comprehensive technical competency development in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It comprises an open concept garden and a specially designed nursery. It is a useful teaching tool for the identification and classification of plants commonly used in TCM.
TP Hydroponic Greenhouse
The greenhouse is equipped with several units of hydroponic orchid growth system (developed by the School), nutrient Film Technique growth system, Deep Flow Water Culture growth system and one unit of aeroponics. It also houses a workroom which permits artificial light experiments, ion analysis and post harvest experimental work to be conducted. There is also a nutrient preparation room and a harvesting area.
