About UsAbout Us-2

The Instrumentation Services Division (ISD) of CSIR-IMTECH is a strong and supportive group which takes care of testing, maintenance and repairs of Instruments. Most of the repairs are carried out in-house and minimum maintenance contracts are given. All the small & medium-level instruments of the institute are repaired and maintained without much downtime due to the support and services provided by the group. Many of the major facilities of the institute for research work are also operated by the members of the group.

The instruments are maintained and repaired without much downtime with the aid of various manuals and only the state-of-the-art, high-end and sophisticated instruments are given on maintenance contracts. A full-fledged test and measuring facility has been set up to help in the repair which has sophisticated instruments like Digital Storage Oscilloscope, Variable power supply, multimeters, function generator, SMD soldering workstation, etc.

The Instrumentation Services Division (ISD) also maintains the Modular Instrumentation Lab (MIL) facility of the Institute. The Modular Instruments Lab (MIL) facility at the Institute offers round-the-clock instrumentation service to users for carrying out routine experiments. Eight such MILs have been set up spread across the CSIR-IMTECH campus which provide the researchers access to the state-of-the-art instruments. The facility offers normal spectrophotometric techniques such as UV/visible spectrophotometers, spectrofluorometers, ELISA readers, centrifuges, gel-doc systems, phosphoimagers, high end purification systems, etc.

Major Instrument Facility (MIF)

Major Instrument Facility (MIF) provides sophisticated analytical capabilities to users internal (IMTECH/CSIR Labs) as well as external users from various academic/research institutes and industry. The objective of the MIF is to facilitate scientists/researchers working in various educational institutes/universities, research institutions and industry to carry out measurements on sophisticated analytical instruments not available in their own institutions.
