The major equipment in the laboratory are UV-Vis-NIR Absorption spectrophotometer (with integrating sphere for solid samples and temperature controller for 4 to 90 degree C), UV-Vis Spectrofluorimeter (with solid state accesory, temperature controller for 4 to 90 degree C, Polarisers) for steady state spectroscopy measurements and UV-Vis-NIR femtosecond transient absorption spectrophotometer for ultrafast lifetime measurement are availalbe. In addition all small equipment like pH meter, physical balence, centrifuge, sonicators, micropipettes are at the disposal day to day use.
Ideas are the real tools in science, the instruments are mere mediators between the idea and its produce
