| Analytical
Laboratory |
|
| It has facilities to conduct accurate qualitative and quantitative analysis of substances, be they organic, inorganic, volatile, non volatile or toxic trace metals (such as lead, cadmium, copper, arsenic, mercury, iron, zinc, aluminum, thallium, selenium, cobalt, manganese, nickel and chromium) Analysis of the above substances in air, soil, water, and food; drugs including allopathic, homeopathic, ayurvedic and unani; biological matter such as blood, urine, liver biopsy, hair and nail is performed at a routine level. |

Flame Photometer
|
For mainly inorganic chemical analysis to determine the concentration of certain metal ions, among them sodium, potassium, lithium, and calcium in the samples like allopathic, ayurvedic, unani and homeopathic medicines, water samples.

High Volume Sampler
|
For air sampling and monitoring of suspended particulates (SP) in ambient air. The sampler uses a continuous duty blower to suck in an air stream. When fitted with a particle size classifier, it separates particles greater than 10µm size from the air stream. The air stream is then passed through a filter paper to collect particles lesser than 10µm size (PM10).
