Central Advanced Instrumentation Facility

The Central Advanced Instrumentation Facility (CAIF) at IISER Berhampur was established with the aim of catering to the interdisciplinary research needs with its high-end sophisticated instruments.
The facility is created by installing state-of-the-art analytical instruments to be used by internal as well as external users. Several instruments such as NMR (400 & 700), XRD (Powder & Single Crystal), MRI, Mass Spectroscopy, etc. have already been installed and are functional. Other high-end instruments like 200 KV Cryo TEM Core System, FE-SEM, XPS, etc. are being installed and will be available soon for booking.

Most of the instruments are also available on i-STEM for booking. Please click here to book through i-STEM.
