CICMRI
The Central Instrumentation Center for Multidisciplinary Research and Innovation (CICMRI)
established in main campus of our University is equipped with sophisticated analytical instruments and
other research facilities. The Government of Maharashtra has funded through special grant to
strengthen the Research & Development (R&D) activities that are observed in main campus, subcampuses and all affiliated colleges spread over 4 districts of Marathwada region. This center is aimed to
facilitate the instrumentation and analytical requirements in basic and applied sciences at academic,
research, and industrial fields
At present, the state-of-the-art infrastructure including High Resolution Liquid Chromatograph
Mass Spectrometer (HRLCMS), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), Raman
Spectrometer, Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GCMS), Refractometer, Atomic Absorption
Spectrophomometer (AAS,) Reactors and CADD Software (Biovia Discovery Studio) have been procured.
The inclusion of few more equipment like Fluorescence Spectroscope, Density & Sound Velocity Mater,
Viscometer, Zetasizer Nano Zs, Illumina MiniSeQ Platform of NGS for Genome Sequencing, Fluorescent
Microscope, X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRD) and Western Blot is under progress. Of course the services
are offered on affordable charge basis to researchers in campus, affiliated colleges, other Universities
and industries.
For any further details and queries, one can directly visit CICMRI at SRTM University, Nanded.

The potential of state-of-the-art equipment finds application widely in Academic, Research &
Development and Industrial sectors. To be mentioned, it can greatly support local farmers in soil testing,
water analysis, selecting appropriate seeds and pesticides, and quality checks for their agri-products and
dairy products. In short, the wide applications can be explored as given below.
- Pesticide content detection
- Pesticide metabolism in plants
- Seed adulteration ( for example black pepper with papaya seeds)
- Nutraceutical value evaluation of Agri-products like banana
- Dairy products analysis for pesticide, antibiotics and mycotoxins content
- Curcumin estimation
- The nutraceutical active compounds (gingerols, shogaols, and paradols) detection of Ginger
- Wheat, Jowar and ground nuts like food grains for aflatoxin (B1, B2, G1, and G2) detection
- Soil testing for mineral detection
- Water analysis for detecting various mineral levels
