In-charge Email Id: sahoosanat@nitrkl.ac.in
Instrument Status: Functional
Specification: ArcGIS and ERDAS
Principle: Analysis of satellite imagery.
Application: The interpretation of remotely sensed images through remote sensing software like ERDAS IMAGINE may provide valuable information that can be analysed in ArcGIS platform to aid Civil Engineers in different sectors like water resources management, disaster management, urban planning, irrigation management, environmental monitoring and soil studies.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer
Make & Model: Bruker, Avance III
Location: Department of Chemistry
Instrument Incharge: Prof. Gokarneswar Sahoo
In-charge Email Id: sahoog@nitrkl.ac.in
Instrument Status: Functional
Specification: 400 MHz Ultrashield Bruker
Principle: Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( NMR spectroscopy) is a research technique that exploits the magnetic properties of certain atomic nuclei and determines the physical and chemical properties of atoms or the molecules involved. The solvated sample is placed in a magnetic field and the NMR signal is produced by excitation of the nuclei sample with radio waves into nuclear magnetic resonance, which is detected with sensitive radio receivers. The intramolecular magnetic field around an atom in a molecule changes the resonance frequency, thus giving access to details of the electronic structure of a molecule and its individual functional groups.
Application: NMR spectroscopy provides detailed information about the structure, dynamics, reaction state, and chemical environment of a molecular system.
Fermenter
Make & Model: New Brunswick
BioFlo®/CelliGen®115
Location: MN-348
Instrument Incharge: Prof. Surajit Das
In-charge Email Id: surajit@nitrkl.ac.in
Instrument Status: Functional
Specification: Grow virtually any cell type: aerobic and anaerobic microbes yeast insect-plant and mammalian cells. Water-jacketed and heat-blanketed autoclavable glass vessels.
Principle: Fermentation is a metabolic process that produces chemical changes in organic substrates through the action of enzymes. In biochemistry, it is narrowly defined as the extraction of energy from carbohydrates in the absence of oxygen.
Application: Large scale production mass culture of bacteria as and secondary metabolite in laboratory conditions
