Note:
1. The analytical data/spectra are provided only for research/ development purposes. These cannot be used as
certificates in legal disputes.
2. Service charges are payable in advance by crossed bank draft in favour of The Director, Sophisticated Analytical
Instrumentation Facility, Panjab University, Chandigarh. Payable at Chandigarh.
3. Samples and payment should be sent preferably in the same cover. Separate samples should be sent for different
analysis. Samples will not be analyzed until payment is received.
4. In all correspondence related to analysis our reference number must be mentioned.
5. Radioactive material should be clearly mentioned and handed over personally.
6. Unstable and explosive compounds are not accepted for analysis.
7. Discounted price is rendered to only those users who regularly give us feed-back about the end-use of the results,
e.g. thesis, patent, proves, publication etc.
8. Research fellows and students are advised to send their application and samples through their Supervisor or Head of
Department to avail the discount.
9. Interpretation of spectra is not undertaken normally. In special cases this service can be provided on payment of
extra charges.
10. As per the recent decision of FMC committee it is mandatory for user of SAIF facility to acknowledge the facility in
their research work and communicate the same to SAIF Chandigarh for onward communication to DST, New Delhi.
This condition is necessary for availing discounted educational institute price for educational Institutes.
