Virtual Labs


Virtual Labs help students learn basic laboratory techniques and practice methods used by lab technicians and researchers in a variety of careers, using specific food science lab processes.
It is easy for consumers to take safe food for granted: as most people don’t understand the rigorous testing, research and assessment food and food processing requires.
Healthy, safe food is of extreme importance and vital to human survival. Expert lab technicians help make sure that the food we eat and feed to our animals will not harm us or our livestock.
Advantages
It can be used by a lot of student’s simultaneously, only affected by computational power of the host computer.
It is also more robust than real equipment.
A student may not destroy the hardware while adjust some settings or failures in programming.
The system can be easily duplicated without paying additional costs.

Disadvantages

A virtual lab may never react in all cases equal to real hardware. It is impossible to include all environmental parameters into the virtualization, thus a virtual lab will react sometimes different from a real one.
