* Cost includes the charges for capillary tube.

Data & Structure
* "These are the minimum charges. Additional charges may be levied depending on the nature and complexity of the problem. Please contact SAIF Office Dr. P. K. Sudhadevi in this connection. "

* Quantum Yield, quenching and solvatochromism and FRET studies can only be done in solution state. The user should check the solubility of sample in different solvents and same should be informed to the operator through the reg. form. For quenching studies the user should supply the quencher solutions with known concentration.

For FRET studies your sample should contain an electron rich (donor) species and electron deficient (acceptor) unit in such a way that emission from the donor and absorption from the acceptor overlap considerably.

For specialized measurements like FRET and quenching studies, please contact 044-2257-5926/5939 or mail to sdevi'at'iitm.ac.in or varam'at'iitm.ac.in before submitting the samples. The charge mentioned for FRET studies is for checking absorption and emission of donor and acceptor only. Extra charges may be levied depending on the analysis.

* User should first submit for steady state Fluorescence quenching studies before submitting for lifetime measurements or they have to provide information about steady state Fluorescence quenching analysis. For specialized measurements like FRET and quenching studies, please contact 044-2257-5926/5939 or mail to sdevi@iitm.ac.in or varam@iitm.ac.in before submitting the samples

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)
