HORIBA Scientific provides a wide range of cutting-edge technologies to support today’s advanced research.  HORIBA nurtures a vision to develop recognition and awareness for such high-end equipment providing a new direction to the scientific community. One of the most important aspects of instrumentation is to understand and explore its potential for multiple applications. With this vision, HORIBA Indian ensures giving new wings to your horizons by bringing a unique concept of Industrial-Academic collaboration in form of the technical centers.

HORIBA India shaped the vision of Industrial-Academic collaboration by establishing such technical platforms with two premier institutes in India.

HORIBA-IISc Technical Center, Bangalore (HITC-B)

The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) located in Bangalore is the top-most institute of India under the central government. With the support and guidance of Prof. Siva Umapathy, the well-known Raman spectroscopist from this institute, HORIBA India (HIN) could sign an MoU with IISc for setting up the HORIBA-IISc Technical Centre (HITC) in 2018. This was the first-ever step taken by HORIBA in India to start a clearly distinctive technical platform, with its own Application Scientists, for running a customer-outreach program. The application lab comprises LabRAM HR Evolution (Raman Spectroscopy), Duetta (two-in-one Fluorescence and Absorbance Spectrometer), DeltaPro (Fluorescence Lifetime Spectrometer), and SZ-100 (Dynamic Light Scattering) instruments, with the possibility of further expansion with other equipment for demonstration.

HORIBA-IIT Delhi Technical Center (HITC-D)

The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi is an autonomous public research and technical institute created to be one of the Centres of Excellence for training, research and development in science, engineering, and technology. To enhance our vision for customer outreach in the North of India, HORIBA Scientific could, fortunately, extend its footprints in one of the most influential technological institutes by signing an MOU with IIT Delhi in 2022. With the kind support of Prof. Sameer Sapra (HOD, Central Research Facility) and Prof. Pramit Chowdhury (Physical & Bio-physical Chemistry Research Lab), we could establish the second technical center, HORIBA – IITD Technical Centre (HITC). This center is currently hosting our LA-960V2 (Laser Diffraction Particle Size Analyzer) supervised by an Application Scientist.
