Sophisticated Analytical Instrument Facilty (SAIF)



Sophisticated Analytical Instrument Facility (SAIF), was established at the Karnatak University, Dharwad in 2014 with the financial support from the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India, with the following objectives:

  • To provide services of facilities of sophisticated analytical instruments to scientists and academicians from academic institutes, R&D laboratories and industries to enable them to carry out measurements for R&D work.
  • To acquire and develop capability for preventive maintenance and repair of sophisticated instruments.
  • To organize short term courses/workshops on the use and application of various instruments.

SAIF centre houses the following instruments:

  1. 400 MHz FT-NMR Spectrometer
  2. SEM with EDS & essential sample preparation accessories
  3. X-Ray Diffractometer (Powder) with accessories
  4. CD Spectrometer

The facilities provided by the SAIF may be utilized by any user/organization on payment of nominal charges. The details about the procedure for the submission of the samples and the charges for sample analysis can be obtained from the University website (www.kud.ac.in) or from SAIF centre, Karnatak University, Dharwad. Online registration and online payment is mandatory.

The day-to-day functioning of the SAIF is overseen by Prof. J Seetharamappa Head, SAIF. The Facilities Management Committee (FMC) oversees and guides the activities of the SAIF.
