SAIF-SPIHER facilitates the researchers of all and the sundry associated with research by providing guidance in acquisition of data using the advanced reflectance and the transmittance spectroscopic techniques viz., FTIR-ATR, UV-Vis DRS/DTS and Photo Luminescence spectral measurements. SAIF-SPIHER also extends its consultancy services to Industries, R&D laboratories and institutions. SAIF-SPIHER organizes workshops in regular manner on the working principle and application of the available spectroscopic techniques at SAIF-SPIHER for students, teachers and personnel from other Laboratories, Universities and Industries.
