- Ultrasonic welding system (Dukane iQ Servo)
- Plasma cleaner (Herrick PDC-001)
- Two-axis laser cutter
- Benchtop manual tablet press (Natoli RD10A and Globe Pharma)
- Laboratory spray dryer system (Buchi B290)
- Benchtop fluidized bed coating system (Vector VFC-LAB Micro)
- Temperature programmable ovens (25-500 °C) for drying and thermal processing
- Temperature and humidity controlled stability chamber
- USP Type II dissolution system, with 8-channel autosampler coupled to Cary 50Bio UV-visible absorption spectrometer
- Orbital shaker systems
- TerraUniversal modular hardwall class 10,000 clean-room (10’ × 10’): for clean preparation of prototype biomedical devices for animal and clinical work
- Assembly station: Nordson adhesive delivery system, vacuum pick-up tool
