MADRAS VETERINARY COLLEGE

CENTRALISED INSTRUMENTATION LABORATORY

The laboratory comprises of eleven cubicles of various sizes to install the sophisticated equipments under one roof with air-conditioning facility to carry out Veterinary, Food science and technology and other related life science research. The infrastructure is provided for the use of various research scholars / Post Graduate students / Faculty members for their research purposes. The facility is also being used for human resource development in the area of cell and molecular biology research and ultra structural nano molecular studies.

Objectives

To provide laboratory resources for the use of post graduate students and scientists of this institution as well as from various other institutions (with nominal cost) under one roof for quality, cost effective and uninterrupted research.
To make centrally available resources for research activities.
