Training Capabilities

Dr. Ghulam Mustafa Kamal specializes in analytical and bioanalytical instrumentation, with extensive hands-on experience in the operation, maintenance, and application of advanced equipment used in food, environmental, metabolomics, and health-related research. His expertise includes:
• High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) – including gradient and isocratic systems, diode-array detectors (DAD), and fluorescence detection for quantitative and qualitative analysis.
• Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) – for targeted and untargeted metabolomics, food safety, contaminant profiling, and bioactive compound identification.
• Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) – including headspace and derivatization techniques for volatile and semi-volatile compound analysis.
• Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy – Mostly 1D NMR (¹H, ¹³C) for metabolic fingerprinting.
• UV-Visible Spectrophotometers – for routine analytical measurements, antioxidant assays, and kinetic studies.
• Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry – for determination of potentially toxic elements for the assessment of health risks in foods..
• Centrifuges (high-speed and ultra) – for bio-sample processing and extraction workflows.
• Rotary Evaporators and Freeze Dryers – for solvent removal and sample preservation in extraction and formulation work.
• pH meters, Conductivity Meters, and Water Activity Meters – for environmental and food sample quality evaluation.
• Software & Data Analysis Tools – Proficient in NMRSpec, Origin, SIMCA (PCA/PLS-DA/OPLS-DA) etc.
Dr. Kamal applies these tools in multidisciplinary projects involving food authenticity, environmental monitoring, functional foods, bioactive discovery, and waste valorisation.
