About SAIF

The Sophisticated Analytical Instruments Facility (SAIF), formerly known as RSIC, was set up by Department of Science and Technology (DST).

This is the first amongst the seven RSIC's established consequently by DST.

The purpose of establishing these centres is to supply data collection facility from sophisticated analytical utensils to scientific community for their advanced research with nominal charges.

The facility has grown into a major centre for spectral measurements, molecular and crystal construction determination and materials characterization.

The main objectives of SAIF facilities are :

To provide for guidance acquisition of data using Sophisticated Instruments.

To organize workshops on the use and application of various spectroscopic and analytical techniques for students, teachers and personnel from other Laboratories, Universities and Industries. .

To provide facilities of complicated analytical instruments to scientists and other users from academic institutes, R&D laboratories and industries to enable them to carry out dimensions for R&D work.

Development of new dimension/analytical techniques: Efforts are made by the SAIF to develop new techniques/ methods of analysis to put the instruments to their full use and offer them to the scientists for exploring novel magnitude in research in an assortment of areas of science and technology.
