National College Instrumentation Facility (NCIF)

National College Instrumentation Facility is a central facility and houses high value advanced analytical equipment. This facility has been created with an objective is to provide services to all researchers and students of science departments in the College.
The facilities are extensively used by Post Graduate Students, Doctoral Research Scholars and Sponsored Projects for Advanced Research. This facility is also extended to External Organizations, mainly academic institutions of the region on nominal charges.
Training programs and workshops/seminars are organized regularly for laboratory staff and research scholars in focused areas of materials characterization and analysis.
Presently around 35 Doctoral Research Scholars from the Departments of Physics, Botany, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Geology, Microbiology and Zoology are working regularly in the lab.

NCIF includes:

  • Scanning Electron Microscope – EDS
  • Flow Cytometer
  • High Performance Liquid Chromatography
  • Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry
  • Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy
  • FT-Infra Red Spectroscopy
  • Flourescence Spectroscopy
  • Micro Hardness Tester
  • Lyophilizer
  • BOD / COD Analyzer
  • Gel Documentation System

SUBMITTING SAMPLES FOR ANALYSIS

Submitting samples for analysis

Various instrumentation facilities at NCIF may be availed by researchers and academicians around the State of Tamil Nadu under nominal charges. The samples should be submitted in the prescribed format indicating the information requested for as well as special requirements, if any. The samples may be registered for analysis and taken up for measurement as per the number the availability of time and priority.
