Central Analytical Instrumentation Facility (CAIF)
About CAIF
The Central Analytical Instrumentation Facility (CAIF), was established by the funding of Government of Bihar. These facilities were set up to offer the scientific community low-cost data collecting services from advanced analytical equipment for their cutting-edge research. The facility has developed into a significant hub for materials characterisation, molecular and crystal structure determination, and spectroscopic and chromatographic measurements. The resources available at this centre significantly improve the quality of research being conducted in universities and research institutes around the nation. The industries are also granted access to this facility. User can also avail these facility through I-STEM National Portal (https://www.istem.gov.in/) under Bihar Agricultural University.
Objectives
Ø Providing facility for samples analysis received from academic and research institutions, industries, and other organizations.
Ø Providing aaccess of high end analytical instruments to the scientist and students for conducting research work.
Ø Providing training for operation and maintenance of sophisticated instruments
Ø Execute sponsored research projects
