1. INTRODUCTION

The Laboratory for Hi-Tech Applications (Lab HTA) was established in 2022 as a research unit of  Institute for Computational Science and Artificial Intelligence, Van Lang University. Lab HTA specializes in developing and applying advanced technologies to various fields, including ultrasonic technology and herbal extract technology.

Ultrasonic technology is the use of high-frequency sound waves to create physical and chemical reactions. In the laboratory, ultrasonic technology is used for various applications such as ultrasonic cleaning, ultrasonic welding, ultrasonic cutting, and ultrasonic extraction. Ultrasonic extraction is a non-thermal process that uses ultrasonic waves to extract bioactive compounds from plants and other materials. This technology is used extensively in the herbal extract industry, as it allows for the extraction of compounds without damaging their molecular structure.

Herbal extract technology is the process of extracting active compounds from plants and herbs. The laboratory uses various extraction techniques, including ultrasonic extraction, to isolate and purify these compounds for use in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food products. Herbal extract technology is a growing field, as there is increasing demand for natural and plant-based products in the market.

Overall, the Laboratory for Hi-Tech Applications is dedicated to advancing the field of technology and developing new applications for various industries. Through their research and development, they aim to improve efficiency, sustainability, and innovation in the field of hi-tech applications.

2. MISSION AND VISION

Mission of the Laboratory for Hi-Tech Applications is to conduct new research and development in ultrasonic technology, herbal extract technology, and other fields of hi-tech applications.
