About Central Instrumentation Cell (CIC):
Our College has established Central Instrumentation Cell (CIC) in the 2015, to facilitate the Research Work among Faculty and Students. The cell is having following Instruments
| Sr. No. | Instrument | Make |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer) Spectra from 630 nm | Agilent |
| 2 | UV-VIS Spectro-photometer | Agilent |
| 3 | GC (Gas chromatograph) | Agilent |
| 4 | Laminar Air Flow Set up | Technova Analyticals |
| 5 | KBr pallet press machine (15 Ton) | Technova Analyticals |
| 6 | Programmable Furnace (up to 2000oC and timer slots) | Metrex Scientific Instruments |
| 7 | 1500 x capacity microscope for Electric Dipole Measurements | |
| 8 | LCR Impedance Analyzer (2 MHz) at Room Temperature characterizations |
Instrumentation Facilities available
Cell provides following Instrumentation Facilities and services, with minimum maintenance charges for M. Sc. Projects and Research Work (such as M. Phil., Ph. D., MRPs and other Research Projects)
| Instrument | Characterization Maintenance Charges | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| FTIR | Rs.200 | For functional group analysis |
| UV Visible Spectrophotometer | Rs.100 | To study optical band gap of materials, R. I. of transparent materials, anti oxidant activity |
| Gas Chromatograph | Rs. 300 | Identification of Chemical Constituents |
| Muffle Furnace Model No. MF-14P (up to 1500oC) | Depend on sample type | For calcinations purpose, to grow single crystals |
| KBr Press Machine | Rs. 50 | To make KBr pellet for further characterizations like electrical conductivity, dielectric measurements, magnetic study, etc |
| Metallurgical Trinacular Microscope with USB Camera Metzer VFM – 9100 | Rs. 300 | For the study of dipole orientation and to study dipole magnification |
| LCR Meter | Depend on sample type, heat treatments, etc | Dielectric constant, dielectric loss, impedance measurement, C-V characterizations, etc |
| Laminar Air Flow | Rs. 300/bacteria | To study Antimicrobial activity |
Note: All characterization (except Antimicrobial) will be delivered on the same day or within three days. Heat dependent characterizations may require its own time.

Certificate Courses Offered by CIC
It is observed that the Students studying in M. Sc. Programs needs special skills in handling instruments. By considering the need of students, we decided to extend the usefulness of these facilities through Certificate Courses.
These courses will help the awardee as an important support in building their future career.
Course 1] Certificate Course in FTIR: Basics and Handling Skills
Course 2] Certificate Course in UV-VIS Spectrophotometer: Basics and Handling Skills
Duration: 30 Hours (One Week each Course)
Course Fees: Rs. 1,000 (each Course)
