We need your support

I would like to be consulted before new equipment is purchased. This is an opportunity to benefit from my more than three decades of experience servicing laboratory equipment at CWRU.

Certified Service Training for the SOM service engineer can be included on larger equipment or multiple item purchase agreements. A long-term service consideration for your new equipment and a contribution that the entire research community can benefit from for many years would be appreciated.

More than 10,000 CWRU researchers have benefited from our involvement on services and recommendations since 1984.
