Over the years the Institute has acquired sophisticated modern instruments of research worth over US $ 35 million. These facilities make this institute one of the finest in the developing world and at par to major universities of the West. This includes eight super-conducting NMR spectrometers (Bruker Avance three 500 MHz, three 400 MHz, two 300 MHz), over half a dozen high-resolution mass spectrometers (including Jeol HX-110 and JMS 600 with mass range of over 12000), gas phased amino acids sequencer, single crystal X-ray diffractomer, ICP, LC-MS, FT-IR, CD equipment, GC-MS, Gas Chromatographs, HPLCs, Recycling HPLCs, Silicon graphiec workstation along with graphic and printing facilities etc. It is generally accepted to be the best equipped institution in Asia for research in the area of natural products chemistry. It includes a well-equipped pharmacology section (with animal houses), plant biotechnology unit and a pilot plant building for work on industrial levels.
Mass spectroscopic databases, ISI current contents, dictionary of natural products and chemical abstracts on CDs have also been acquired. The well-subscribed subject-special library of the institute subscribes over 100 periodicals and journals and housed over 6000 books on various aspects of chemical and related sciences. A broad-band radiowave connectivity of 64 kbps caters the communication needs of the Institute, which include access to ISI online databases.
Several new laboratories such as enzyme inhibition, tissue culture and plant micropropagation, antitumor and radiolabelling laboratories have been established in collaboration with NCI (USA), Abbott Laboratories and others partners involving every facet of industrial development.
