The Centre for Application of Radioisotopes and Radiation Technology (CARRT) was set up at Mangalore University through financial support from the Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences (BRNS) and scientific support from the Board of Radiation and Isotope Technology (BRIT). The mandate of the CARRT is to undertake research and development in the application of radiation technology for social benefits, generate human resources, and provide a platform for scientists, academicians, and industrialists to interact in collaborative R&D programmes. The centre is extending support to researchers from about 50 institutions and has research collaborations with many institutions from within and abroad. The following are some of the important facilities available in CARRT:
- High-dose gamma irradiation facility
- Low-dose gamma irradiation facility (5 Gy/min)
- Helicobacter pylori sampling laboratory
- Instrumentation/counting laboratory
- Radioisotope labelling laboratory
- Radioimmunoassay and immunoradiometric assay laboratory
- Hybridoma laboratory
