Availability of Central Instrument Facility for Academic/Industrial Researchers
Poornaprajna Institute of Scientific Research (PPISR) has established a testing facility for all researchers from academic institutions and industries, to characterize their samples. Interested individuals can analyze their samples under the guidance of a PPISR staff. PPISR has procured several analytical instruments that are vital for the faculty and students to pursue advanced research in basic and applied sciences. The Analytical Facility has several sophisticated instruments namely Powder X-ray Diffractometer, Surface Area Analyzer, Temperature Program desorption (TPD) Analyzer, Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Ultra Violet–Visible Spectroscopy (UV-VIS), and Fluorescence Spectrophotometer.
The following instruments are available at the PAC for external users:
|
1. Powder X-ray Diffractometer (PXRD)The D2 PHASER – table top X-ray Powder Diffractometer from Bruker is ideal for qualitative, quantitative and structure analysis of polycrystalline samples. Specifications:
|
||||||||||
|
2. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)The Bruker-alpha FTIR spectrophotometer is a compact instrument and measures the infrared spectrum, which represents the molecular absorption and transmission of a sample. Specifications:
|
||||||||||
|
3. Fluorescence SpectrophotometerThe Varian Cary Eclipse Fluorescence Spectrophotometer is a compact instrument and measures the fluorescence, phosphorescence, chemi/bio-luminescence, and time resolved phosphorescence. Specifications: Spectral range UV-Vis. Xenon flash lamp technology with room light immunity and high sensitivity.

4. Ultra Violet – Visible Spectroscopy (UV-VIS)The UV-Visible spectrophotometer from Perkin Elemer can be routinely used in analytical chemistryfor the quantitative determination of different analytes such as transition metal ions, highly conjugated organic compounds, and biological macromolecules. Specifications:
|
||||||||||
|
5.Atomic Absorption SpectroscopyThis instrument from Perkin-Elmer is used for the qualitative and quantitative determination of chemical elements employing the absorption of optical radiation (light) by free atoms in the gaseous state. In analytical chemistry the technique is used for determining the concentration of a particular element (the analyte) in a sample to be analyzed. Specifications

6. Temperature Program desorption (TPD) AnalyzerBEL's new fully-automated catalyst analyzer, enables comprehensive catalyst study by using the techniques; 1) Temperature programmed desorption (TPD) 2) Temperature programmed reduction (TPR) BELCAT II will be the strong tool for the catalyst evaluation. Typical Applications
Basicity study of solid base catalyst. etc... |
