The primary instruments of CAI-K are in the field of chromatography (GC, GCMS, HPLC, RP-HPLC , HPTLC) and spectroscopy (IR, UV-VIS, X-Rays,). These instruments are listed below. Click on the instrument name for more details of the instrument make, model, specifications, applications, user instructions, minimum quantity of sample required for analysis, analytical charges etc.

CHNS Analyzer

Make: Eurovector, Italy
Model: EA 3000

CHNS Elemental Analyzer uses the combustion technique to determine the weight per cent of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and sulfur in a variety of sample types.

Flame Photometer

Make: BWB Technologies, UK
Model: BWB-1

The flame photometer is used in inorganic chemical analysis to determine the concentration of certain metal ions such as Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Calcium and barium.

Freeze Dryer/Lyphophilizer

Make: Lark Innovative Fine Teknowledge
Model: Penguin Classic

Lyophilizer or freeze dryer executes a water removal process typically used to preserve perishable materials, to extend shelf life or make the material more convenient for transport.

FT-IR Spectrometer

Make: Perkin Elmer Inc, USA
Model: SPECTRUM TWO

Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy analyzes the infrared spectrum of a sample. It's used to identify organic, polymeric, and sometimes inorganic materials.

Gas Chromatograph (GC)

Make: Shimadzu Corporation, Japan
Model: GCMS-QP2020EI NX

GC separates and analyses compounds that can be vaporized without decomposition. Typical uses of GC include testing the purity of a particular substance or separating the different components of a mixture.

Gas Chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS)

Make: Shimadzu Corporation, Japan
Model: GCMS QP2010S

A hybrid analytical instrument that couples the separation capabilities of a Gas Chromatograph with the detection properties of the mass spectrometer.

High Performance Thin Layer Chromatograph (HPTLC)

Make: CAMAG
Model: Linomat 5

It serves as an extension of thin-layer chromatography (TLC), offering robustness, simplicity, speed, and efficiency in the quantitative analysis of compounds.

ICP Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP OES)

Make: PerkinElmer
Model: Aveo 200

Inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry is used for the determination of approx 70 elements in a variety of matrices.

Microwave Digester

Make: M/s. Perkin Elmer. Inc, USA
Model: TITAN MPS

Elemental analysis using ICP or AAS requires the digestion of samples before analysis. Microwave Digester is designed to perform chemical digestion procedures under extreme pressure and temperature conditions in chemical laboratories.

Reversed Phase - High Performance Liquid Chromatography (RP-HPLC)

Make: Shimadzu Corporation, Japan
Model: Nexera Series

RP-HPLC is often the most preferable choice when analyzing and attempting to separate and identify compounds from a complex mixture.

UV-Visible Spectrophotometer

Make: PerkinElmer
Model: Lamda 650

A UV-vis spectrophotometer is an analytical instrument that measures the amount of ultraviolet (UV) and visible light that is transmitted or absorbed by a sample.

X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD)

Make: Rigaku Corporation, Japan.
Model: Miniflex 6G

XRD is a versatile non-destructive analytical technique used to analyse physical properties such as phase composition, crystal structure and orientation of powder, solid and liquid samples.
