THE CENTRE FOR SOPHISTICATED INSTRUMENTATION AND RESEARCH LABORATORY (CSIRL)



The Centre for Sophisticated Instrumentation and Research Laboratory (CSIRL) is a central laboratory facility of Jessore University of Science and Technology (JUST) with state-of-art sophisticated analytical instruments. The CSIRL is established for the students, research scholars and teachers of the university and industries who are actively engaged in R&D activities in the emerging areas of science, technology & engineering. There are number of educational institutions and industries surrounding this local area, but no significant facilities are available in the surrounding where academicians, researchers, technologists can get together and share their views & experiences about new techniques and applications of various instruments in research under one roof. In order to cater the needs of all the departments for sophisticated instruments at JUST campus, Central Instrumentation Laboratory was established.

Mission Statement

CSIRL aims to the “optimum utilization of the instrumentation facility with quality assurance of analytical and research outcome.”

Objectives

  • To carry out the analysis of samples received from researchers working in various educational and research institutions, industries, labs etc.
  • To strengthen the facility with state-of-art advanced research instruments making it a model hub for scientific research in this region.
  • Maintenance and upgrading of instruments in the facility as well as that at various centres in the university.
  • To organize short-term courses/workshops on the use and application of various spectroscopic and analytical techniques for students, teachers and technical personnel from our University, affiliated institutions, universities and industry in the region.
