HISTORY OF THE GROUP:
Soon after the establishment of the CSIR – North
East Institute of Science & Technology (Formerly: Regional Research Laboratory), Jorhat in the
year 1961, it was initiated to develop Analytical Services Division in order to provide analytical support
to its R&D activities. Later on this Division got its own recognition as an Analytical Chemistry Group and
involving in the own generated R&D projects. Presently this group is known as Analytical Chemistry group under
Chemical Sciences and Technology Division (CSTD). Apart from analytical services provided to different in
house as well as grants aided projects of the laboratory, it involves in the own generated R & D Projects.
In the earlier stage, the group was involved in process development work on tea waste, essential oils,
petrochemicals and pesticides etc. Presently, the main thrust areas of the group are focused on investigation
of the different products with the help of different instrumental methods, chemical analysis including new
research areas like development of nano-composites based electrochemical biosensors, Molecules to Materials
to Devices (M2D) etc. This group, also, extends its support to different educational institutions, industries,
NGO’s and govt. & semi-govt. organizations of NE region.

The Analytical Facilities available in Analytical Chemistry Group
Features & Applications:
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) is a powerful relatively analytical tool, which enables to ascertain molecular structure including relative configuration, relative and absolute concentrations, and even intermolecular interactions. At NEIST, Two NMRs are available which are 500 MHz and 300 MHz FT NMR Spectrometers. 1H NMR and 13C NMR provide information on the number and types of chemical entities (both proton and carbon) in a molecule which can be used for determination of structure of unknown organic compound.
Also it provides information about different types of hydrogen atoms and the electronic environment of different types of protons present in the molecule, (by 1H NMR mode of operation). When the instrument is operated in 13C mode, it provides information on different types of carbon atoms present in the molecule, the electronic environment of different types of carbon atoms as well as the number of neighbors a carbon atom has.
