View Profile

The Central Research Facility(CIF) formerly known as Central Research Facility (CRF) is an independent infrastructural unit existing for the support of Research and Development activities at NERIST. It was established during the early phase of development of NERIST in the year 1990 to provide a central facility with sophisticated instruments for cutting-edge research in a variety of scientific and technological fields. Doctorate students, post-graduate students and faculty members of the institute use these instrumental facilities housed at CIF for their research endeavors.  The students from nearby institutes of Arunachal Pradesh also use the facilities of CIF. We are hoping to add more instruments to the CIF, NERIST to improve its facilities and increase its usefulness for researchers.

Services provided by CIF

Existing Instruments

1. UV-Visible spectrophotometer,  UV-2600 (Shimadzu)
The UV-Visible spectrophotometer is used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of different organic and inorganic compounds including proteins, carbohydrates etc.
