Department of Science & Technology (DST), Government of India granted INR 198.5 Lacs through its FIST-Chemical Sciences (Fund for Improvement of S & T Infrastructure) program to the Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Forensic Sciences, Amity University Haryana to setup the ChemInnova Laboratory.

ChemInnova Laboratory, set up in Room A-217 of the AUH campus, has the following instruments installed;
  • Benchtop Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), (80 MHz) instrument manufactured by Magritek (Germany).
  • Shimadzu Gas-chromatograph-Mass Spectrometer.
  • GC Shimadzu equipped with TCD and FID detectors.

These instruments are operated by trained personnel and are available for use by faculty, staff, and students of AUH and other educational institutions, as well as industry users, at nominal charges to offset the operation cost. In addition to the instruments, the lab features a well-equipped sample preparation work area and computer workstations with relevant software installed for the convenience of the users.

A summary of the instrument specifications is listed below:
