Industrial Research And Consultancy Centre (IRCC)

The research facilities at IIT Bombay cater to the needs of researchers both within and outside the Institute, including academic and industrial users. Our research infrastructure undergoes continuous upgrades to align with international standards, ensuring the facilitation of high-quality research. Spread across diverse departments, each facility is overseen by a faculty in-charge, a facility management committee, and operated by staff members, and trained students. To acquaint various stakeholders with the instruments' functioning and usage, the team conducts workshops, seminars, and conferences. These facilities are broadly classified into Microscopy, Spectroscopy, and Other facilities.

Sophisticated Analytical Instruments Facilities (SAIF)

Sophisticated Analytical Instrument Facility (SAIF), formerly known as the Regional Sophisticated Instrumentation Centre (RSIC), was established at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, in the year 1976, with the support of the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, New Delhi. SAIF, IIT Bombay houses a variety of major analytical instruments which are operated and maintained by a dedicated and qualified group of Scientists and Engineers. It is an integral part of IIT Bombay, and operates with an "open access policy". The result of this policy is that all can benefit from the services of SAIF. SAIF does not operate to compete with any commercial laboratories but, it has a vision, "to be amongst the top Analytical Instrument Laboratories in the world". Instrumental methods of analyses form an indispensable aspect of any R & D program. Keeping in view the inability of small educational institutions and industries to procure and maintain sophisticated analytical instruments, the Department of Science and Technology (DST), set up Sophisticated Analytical Instruments Facilities (SAIF) in different parts of the country.
