The funding has made BCP self-sufficient in several important facilities like spectrophotometers, HPLC, GC, HPTLC, flash chromatography, Silicon Graphics Computers, computer clusters, molecular modeling software, ultra-low temperature storage media, high speed centrifuges, laser doppler flowmeter, plethysmometer, electrophoresis equipment, Gel electrophoresis reader, spheronizer, granulators, DSC, freeze driers, microwave and parallel synthesizers etc.
