The Integrated Training and Research Laboratory (IRTL) was created in 2018 by the decision of the Academic Council of Abai KazNPU (Protocol No. 2 dated 10.24.2018).

In the period from November 2018 to April 2019, a substantial work was done to launch the activities of the IRTL:

- stocktaking of fixed assets and small equipment;
- formalization of governing documents for IRTL activities: Regulations of the integrated educational research laboratory of the Institute of Natural Sciences and Geography (in Kazakh and Russian languages); job description of the head of IRTL (in Kazakh and Russian languages); job description of the IRTL engineer (in Kazakh and Russian languages).
- organizing devices, reagents, utensils, etc.

 IRTL is equipped with 108 units of primary equipment and 188 units of auxiliary tools including chromatographic tables for spectral studies, movable and stationary tables, an island electrified table, physical electrified tables, various cabinets and lockers for laboratory chemical glassware and reagents.
