Repair and servicing of vacuum pumps and maintenance on a wide variety of lab equipment and instruments is provided by the Electrical Shop.
Electrical & Electromechanical Repair Process
Most repairs are performed in the Electronic Services shop areas. However, we do not have a central drop-off location as each of our various work areas specialize in particular types of electronics repair. In addition, some repairs may be performed on-site, depending on the size of the item to be repaired and the type of repair required.
