ANALYTICAL INSTRUMENT FACILITIES (SAIFs) |
| |
Sophisticated
analytical instruments are vital for pursuing
research in many areas of modern science and
technology. Many institutions in the country
do not have such instruments. These instruments
are expensive and cannot be provided through
individual project mechanism. Moreover, these
instruments are of inter/multidisciplinary utility
and thus it is desirable to use them on sharing
basis for their optimum utilization. Considering
these aspects, the Department of Science &
Technology (DST) has set up Sophisticated Analytical
Instrument Facilities (SAIFs) in different parts
of the country under its Sophisticated Analytical
Instrument Facilities Programme to provide the
facilities of sophisticated analytical instruments
to the research workers in general and specially
from the institutions which do not have access
to such instruments to enable them to pursue
R&D activities requiring such facilities
and keep pace with developments taking place
globally. The instrument facilities provided
by the SAIFs are being utilized by about 6,000
users every year from academic institutions,
R&D laboratories and industries from all
over the country.
OBJECTIVES
OF THE SAIFs:
-
to
carry out analysis of samples received from
the scientists/institutes;
-
to provide facilities of sophisticated analytical
instruments to scientists and other users
from academic institutes, R&D laboratories
and industries to enable them to carry out
measurements for R&D work;
-
to acquire and develop capability for preventive
maintenance and repair of sophisticated instruments;
-
to organize short term courses/workshops on
the use and application of various instruments
and analytical techniques;
-
to train technicians for maintenance and operation
of sophisticated instruments; and
-
to undertake design and development of instruments/accessories
of existing instruments
LOCATION/ADDRESSES

ANALYTICAL
INSTRUMENTS/FACILITIES AVAILABLE AT THE SAIFs
The
SAIFs are equipped with sophisticated analytical
instruments in the areas of Optical spectroscopy,
NMR and EPR spectroscopy, X-ray based analysis,
Electron microscopy, Mass spectrometry, Chromatography,
Organic elemental analysis, Thermal analysis
etc. to meet the needs of users in various areas
of science & technology. A wide range of
analytical methods/techniques for chemical/material
analysis/ testing/characterization including
qualitative and quantitative elemental, molecular/compound
analysis, structure determination, surface topographic
studies, study of physical, optical and electrical
properties of materials etc. are available to
the users at these Facilities for helping them
in their research work.

SERVICES
PROVIDED/OTHER ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN BY THE
SAIFs
(i)
Analytical Services: The
SAIFs offer the following analytical services:
-
Sample
analysis: The SAIFs carry out analysis of
samples received from scientists/institutions
and provide spectra/results of analysis on
routine basis.
-
Facilities and assistance for sample preparation
are provided to the users, if needed.
-
Testing of quality of raw material and end
products is done for industry/users.
Some
of the SAIFs provide complete range of analytical
services including interpretation of results
etc. The present emphasis is to provide total
quality of analysis to the users.
(ii)
Short term Courses/Training Programmes:
The SAIFs organize the following types of short
term courses/training programmes/workshops:
-
on use and applications of various instruments
and analytical techniques for research students,
teachers and personnel from academic institutions,
R&D labs and industries.
-
on repair/maintenance and operation of sophisticated
instruments for technicians. Such training
programmes are also organized by some of the
SAIFs on specific requests.
(iii)
Development of new measurement/analytical techniques:Apart
from providing routine analytical techniques/methods
of analysis available on the instruments, efforts
are made by the SAIFs to develop new techniques/methods
of analysis to put the instruments to their
full use and offer them to the scientists for
exploring new dimensions in research in various
areas of science and technology.
(iv) Consultancy on Analytical Problems: The SAIFs offer consultancy on solution
to analytical problems including development
of analytical methods for specific needs, sampling
problems, spectrum analysis and interpretation
of results etc. as well as on R&D problems/issues.
(v) Repair and Maintenance of sophisticated
instruments:Some of the SAIFs have
over the years developed expertise to repair
and maintain sophisticated instruments available
with them and on specific request undertake
servicing of such instruments at other institutions.
GENERAL
INFORMATION
The
facilities provided by the SAIFs may be utilized
by any user/organization on payment of nominal
charges. The details about the procedure for
using the facilities and the charges for sample
analysis, information about short term courses/training
programmes/workshops etc. can be obtained from
