Welcome to Spectroscopy Analytical Test Facility

Spectroscopy Analytical Test Facility (SATF) was established in 2008 with an intention of providing support for researchers in the institute and also from outside. The unit is equipped with sophisticated instruments for analytical measurements of chemical and biological samples. The SATF has been serving the needs of research students across several departments of the institute and also researchers from various colleges, universities and industries around Bangalore. The users are charged with a nominal amount to partly meet the maintenance cost of the equipment. Procedure for submission of samples is given under each instrument in the following pages. for any clarification and queries, users are requested to contact Dr. Sandya by email: sandya@iisc.ac.in, office.satf@iisc.ac.in or satfiisc@gmail.com
