FIST LAB

JASCO FP-8200 Spectrofluorometer

Research contribution of the institution is further recognized by the Department of Science and Technology (DST, Govt. of India) when the DST awarded the prestigious FIST (Fund for Infrastructure Development in Science and Technology) facility to the science departments including Botany, Chemistry, Physics, and Zoology. Research has been an integral part of the academic activities in these disciplines as well. The DST FIST lab was established in 2013. The purpose of establishing this centre is to provide data collection facility from sophisticated analytical equipments to scientific community for their advanced research with nominal charges.

SL 243 Double Beam Atomic absorption spectrophotometer

Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) is a spectroanalytical procedure for the quantitative determination of chemical elements using the absorption of optical radiation (light) by free atoms in the gaseous state. Atomic absorption spectroscopy is based on absorption of light by free metallic ions . ELICO's SL-243 AAS Spectrophotometer is fully automated and delivers a new level of flexibility and simplicity. It has a 7" inch high resoultion touch screen display Leveraging the power of Microsoft® Windows CE®. The selected element lamp is automatically aligned in the built-in 8 lamp turret which automatically recognizes coded HCL lamps and loads their operating parameters. The instrument provides many features in terms of performance and saftey never before available on low-cost AAS. .

Hind High Vacuum Co(P) Ltd’s 12” MSPT Planar Magnetron Sputtering Unit

The sputtering process is considered to be the most versatile technique for thin film deposition. It is a process whereby atoms are ejected from a solid source material due to bombardment by energetic ions, usually by means of plasma which generate 14 charged particles, that are accelerated towards a surface. It produces coatings of device quality, higher purity, much controlled thickness with greater adhesion and film homogeneity.

Bryology Research Laboratory

Olympus Research Microscope

The Bryology ResearchLaboratory The Bryology ResearchLaboratory,was founded on 9 January, 2009, by A.E. Dulip Daniels with the grant that he received from the Ministry of Environment and Forests(MoEF), Government of India, New Delhi, through the All India Co-ordinated Project on Taxonomy (AICOPTAX). The laboratory was recognised by the Index Herbariorum, New York Botanical Garden, USA, on 4 July, 2012 and bears the acronym ‘SCCN’. Currently, there are 15,000 holdings. The laboratory is active and so far over 100 research papers and 4 books have been published. Currently, 3 Ph.D. scholars are working under Daniels.
