About CRF


The Central Research Facility is an integrated facility for all students at IIT Kharagpur as well as outsiders which includes both industrial as well as academic users to carry out their research activities centrally under one umbrella. This facility has two broad Divisions namely:

Materials Science Division and Life Science Division.
The instruments in CRF are divided in 6 (six) Clusters namely:
>> Microscopy & Microanalysis.
>> Spectroscopy & Spectrometry.
