Central Instrumentation Facility

Central Instrumentation Facility (AXIS)

The Central Instrumentation Facilities (CIF) at St. Francis College for Women form the core of the college's research infrastructure, providing access to sophisticated instruments and interdisciplinary laboratory spaces that promote high-quality research and innovation. The CIF caters to faculty, research scholars and students of various departments, supporting both academic and project-based investigations.

These facilities play a crucial role in enhancing the quality and scope of research on campus. They foster interdisciplinary collaboration, improve precision and reproducibility in experimental work, and strengthen the college's ability to undertake funded research projects. Regular hands-on training sessions and workshops conducted through the CIF build technical competence among students and faculty, nurturing a scientific temperament and innovative thinking.

Centralized management of these resources ensures optimal utilization, calibration, and maintenance of instruments, reducing redundancy and cost. The CIF also encourages undergraduate and postgraduate students to participate in experimental research, leading to increased publications, patents, and presentations at reputed forums.

The Central Instrumentation Facilities significantly contribute to the college's mission of promoting a vibrant, research-oriented academic environment, thereby enhancing its reputation as a centre of excellence in science and higher education.
