The Division has
scientists from different disciplines like Agricultural Chemicals
and Organic Chemistry. It houses laboratory facilities for synthetic
chemistry, organic coatings and product development of natural
resins and gums.
The Quality
Evaluation Laboratory of IINRG is IS/ISO 9001:2015 accredited
laboratory to render services for collection, analysis, testing and
reporting of lac and lac based products. The laboratory is engaged
in the quality evaluation of lac and lac based products for more
than 50 years and resins and gums recently, catering to the requests
of lac processing industries including samples meant for export.
The laboratory is
equipped with the modern sophisticated instrumentation and has
dedicated, experienced and skilled qualified personnel. It offers
services to the lac processing industries for quality evaluation of
lac and lac based products for domestic as also foreign markets. |
