3D Virtual Pharmacy Labs

Four laboratories, one complete practical in each. Walk up to the bench, handle the apparatus, make the measurements yourself — and get a report built from what you actually did.

Choose a laboratory

  • The pharmaceutical chemistry laboratory in the 3D virtual labPharmaceutical Chemistry

    Pharmaceutical Chemistry Laboratory

    Assay of citric acid by acid–base titration

    • Choose apparatus and an indicator suited to a weak acid–strong base titration
    • Weigh, dilute and pipette quantitatively
    • Read a burette to 0.01 mL and judge a faint permanent end-point
    • Calculate an assay with the correct stoichiometry and units
    ~30 minIntermediateSyllabus source verified

    Listed in the UoK Pharm-D practical syllabus (PHC-607 Pharmaceutical Analysis – I, 4th year, 1st semester: “Acid base titration”). The syllabus names no sample — citric acid is our illustrative choice. Not faculty-reviewed.

  • The pharmaceutics laboratory in the 3D virtual labPharmaceutics

    Pharmaceutics Laboratory

    Preparation and evaluation of Simple Syrup

    • Scale a formula to a batch size
    • Weigh on a tared top-pan balance within tolerance
    • Dissolve sucrose without inverting or caramelising it, and make up to volume at room temperature
    • Evaluate appearance, volume and density, and complete a batch record
    ~25 minIntroductorySyllabus source verified

    Listed in the UoK Pharm-D practical syllabus (PHT-402 Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms Lab, 2nd year, 2nd semester: “Preparation of simple syrups”). The formula used here is illustrative (USP proportions). Not faculty-reviewed.

    Start experiment
  • The pharmacology laboratory in the 3D virtual labPharmacology

    Pharmacology Laboratory

    Graded dose–response curve (simulated isolated tissue)

    • Identify the independent and dependent variables of a dose–response experiment
    • Run trials with correct contact time, washout and recovery
    • Plot response against concentration and against log concentration
    • Estimate Emax and EC50 and explain potency and efficacy
    ~25 minIntermediateSyllabus source verified

    Listed in the UoK Pharm-D practical syllabus (PHL-612 Pharmacology Lab, 4th year, 2nd semester: identifying an unknown concentration of acetylcholine from graded dose–response curves). The syllabus names no tissue; this lab is a simulation with teaching parameters. Not faculty-reviewed.

    Start experiment
  • The pharmacognosy laboratory in the 3D virtual labPharmacognosy

    Pharmacognosy Laboratory

    Microscopical identification of powdered clove

    • Prepare a cleared powder mount without air bubbles
    • Use coarse and fine focus correctly at low and high power
    • Recognise the diagnostic elements of clove powder
    • Distinguish genuine clove from clove-stalk and mother-clove adulteration
    ~25 minIntroductorySyllabus source verified

    Listed in the UoK Pharm-D practical syllabus (PHG-411 Pharmacognosy Lab-I, 2nd year, 1st semester: powdered drug examination — flower bud, Eugenia caryophyllus). The microscope view is a schematic illustration. Not faculty-reviewed.

How these labs work

You do the practical. Choose the apparatus, weigh, measure, read the burette or the recorder yourself. Every number in your report comes from your own readings, and mistakes carry through to the result — with an explanation of why.

Walk, or be guided. Explore the room in first person, or let the camera take you to each station. Every action is also a button in the side panel, so the labs work with a keyboard, a screen reader, or on a device without 3D graphics.

Honest about what is simulated. Samples, purities and responses come from documented teaching models and illustrative data — not real patients or animals. Curriculum badges say exactly how far each mapping has been checked; none has yet been reviewed by faculty.
