Sophisticated Analytical Instrument Facility

List of Charges How to Submit the Samples And Mode of Payment HOW TO SUBMIT THE SAMPLES The samples should be submitted in the prescribed format indicating the information called for as well as your special requirement, if any.If you are sending them by mail, please address to: The Head , Sophisticated Analytical Instrument Facility Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai - 600 036. The samples will be registered for analysis and taken up for measurement as per the seniority/queue of the users of the instrument concerned.As soon as the analysis is over, the spectra along with the bill will be sent to the users.While submitting samples for more than one analysis separate samples are to be sent for each. An Important notice As per the guide line of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), in all publications of research work, where in the analytical services of the SAIF have been made use of, the DST and the SAIF shall be duly acknowledged. Kindly send us the publication reference (Journal name/volume number/names of the authors/date of issue of the publication etc) to us. A list of charges for spectral measurements, as stipulated by the Department of Science & Technology, New Delhi, is annexed. Three Tire Charge System is being followed. It is as follows : The charges below are for analysis of samples received from users within India.. Charges are subject to change periodically Mode of Payment Please note the current policy on payment of analysis charges: Our current policy requires the receipt of the demand draft for analysis charges before analysis of the samples can be done.Payments are to be made only by DD. The DD must be drawn in favour of : The Registrar, IIT Madras payable at Chennai and must be send along with samples and Registration form to the Head SAIF.

Revised Testing Charges
"Testing charges at SAIF, IIT Madras have been revised with immediate effect. All samples received up to Wednesday 8th May 2013 will be charged at the old rates. Any samples received thereafter will be charged according to the new rates. Please note that in case you have already sent your DD/cheque based on the previous rates along with the samples, only those many samples that correspond to the DD/cheque amount will be tested unless an additional DD/cheque made out for the difference amount is received."

Data & Structure
* "Structure solution for single crystal XRD will be charged extra in addition to data collection charges and will depend on the complexity of the problem subject to a minimum of Rs. 7500 (industry)/4500 (R&D establishments)/1500 (academia)"

Additional Charges may be levied for:

Samples requiring special processing prior to measurement (subject to availability)
Deuterated solvents and other costly chemicals
Whenever specialized measurements are performed – which are not specified above [eg. VT NMR, DEPT(NMR), VT XRD]

For heating rates slower than 10 K/ min, charges will be according to the number of hours taken for measurement. (for DSC)
