Central Instumentation Facility (CIF)
National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, Raebareli
Department of Pharmaceuticals, Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, Govt. of India
Our recently created Central Instrumentation Facility (CIF) is equipped with several technologically modern instruments that can be used for advanced research applications. With an aim to maximize instrument use to promote science, in line with Government of India’s directive, our CIF is open to external use both for the academia and the Industry. Especially for the industries and new startup companies, we also have 1008 sq. ft. incubation facility to help promote scientific research and entrepreneurship.
