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 payable to:
The Registrar, IIT Madras
and must be payable at Chennai.
Payment through Credit Card
SAIF is planning to introduce payment of spectral/analytical charges through Credit card. Your opinion on this will be useful. You may indicate whether this will be particularly useful for you or not. Payment Through Credit Card.
