Pakistan Council of Science and Industrial Research (PCSIR), Research and Development Cell has designed and prepared more than 49 equipment used in different laboratories, sources told APP here on Sunday. Laboratory instruments are essential components of research and development organisations, educational institutions and industrial and quality control laboratories to accomplish their day-to-day task.
The federal government has annually been spending a hefty amount on the import of equipment from China and Western countries, they said, now the PCSIR has completed a great venture by manufacturing different scientific laboratory instruments after thorough research, while using indigenous technology. To a question, they said more than 49 different instruments had so far been designed, fabricated and developed while 768 supplied to research and development organisations, educational institutions, industrial and quality control laboratories of the country. To another question, they said end-users tested the PCSIR manufactured equipment and expressed satisfaction over the quality of products, adding, the council was committed to the provision of backup services to its customers on regular basis.
PCSIR Lahore's contribution to the scientific and industrial sector will boost the national economy, besides ensuring huge savings on account of the import of lab equipment, they added.
