SAC Code 998111 - Research and experimental development services in natural sciences

Additional Notes on the SAC code 998111

Research and experimental development services in natural sciences This service code includes basic and applied research services in natural sciences, experimental or theoretical work undertaken primarily to acquire new knowledge of the underlying foundations of phenomena and observable facts, without any particular application of use in view and experimental development services involving systematic work, drawing o n knowledge gained from research and practical experience, that is directed i. to producing new materials, products, and devices; to installing new processes, systems and services; or ii. to improving substantially those already produced or installed in physical sciences related to heat, light, electromagnetism, astronomy, etc; iii. in chemistry and biology related to catalyses, fermentation, physiology and biology of animals and plants, micro -organisms, etc ; iv. in biotechnology related to knowledge requiring one or mo re of the techniques: DNA/RNA like genomics, pharmacogenomics, gene probes, genetic engineering, DNA/RNA sequencing/synthesis/amplification, gene expression profiling, and the use of antisense technology ; proteins and other molecules like sequencing/ synthesis/engineering of proteins and peptides (including large molecule hormones); proteomics, protein isolation and purification, signaling, identification of cell receptors ; v. cell and tissue culture and engineering like cell/tissue culture, tissue engineering (including disuse scaffolds and biomedical engineering), cellular fusion, vaccine/immune stimulants, embryo manipulation process biotechnology techniques like bioreactor fermentation, bioprocessing, bioleaching, biopulping, biosulphur ization, bioremediation, biofiltration, and phytoremediation ; vi. gene and RNA vectors likegene therapy, viral vector s; vii. bioinformatics ; nanobiotechnology
