Core Responsibilities

1. Equipment Installation and Maintenance of General and Sophisticated Research Equipment

The department is responsible for the installation, maintenance, and service of both sophisticated and general research equipment, including Central Instrumentation Facilities at the Main Campus and Bio Innovation Centres. The department Maintains a well-equipped workshop for repairing sophisticated instrumentation systems, which reduces downtime and repair costs. The in-house engineers handle complex hardware issues, saving on Annual Maintenance Contracts.

2. Customization and Fabrication

Customizes, designs, and fabricates components of research automation systems to meet specific user requirements, enhancing convenience and functionality.

3. Procurement Support

Assists in the procurement process by analyzing user needs, evaluating current technology, and preparing technical specifications within budget constraints for purchases.

4. Calibration Facilities

Operates in-house calibration facilities for instruments like pipettes, electronic balances, centrifuges, autoclaves, freezers, incubators, and PCR machines. These facilities include standards and measuring instruments with certifications from recognized national agencies, aiding laboratories in achieving NABH/NABL accreditation.

5. Training Programs

Provides training on the operation, application, calibration, and maintenance of instrumentation systems used in biotechnology and life science research for Engineering/Science Students. Over the past five years, a total of 256 students have participated in these programs.

6. Maintenance of Infrastructure

Manages a broad array of infrastructure, including: Computers and security surveillance systems, Biometric time attendance recorders, online conferencing and communication systems, Auditoriums and convention center, Liquid nitrogen plants, Electrical substations and Central AC plants, Animal House Facilities, maintenance of various instruments available in variour MLS labs

7. Cutting-edge Technologies
