Our designer-technicians consult with you to recommend repairs or replacement and will install manufacturers’ replacement parts to prevent you from having to ship apparatuses for repair.
We are available to customers on campus, and we make on-site visits to all UB affiliated hospitals.
Mechanical Instrument Design and Repair
We design instruments from teaching models to custom lab equipment and fabricate them to your needs. Items purchased elsewhere can be repaired or altered, and we can diagnose and address problems with wear.
Mills, lathes, punches, welding equipment and woodworking tools permit us to build and repair items made from stainless steel, aluminum, brass, plastics, sheet metal and wood. We can also perform minor glass work.
Electronic Instrument Repair and Alteration
We repair and alter instruments to researchers’ needs. Instrumentation we repair and alter includes but is not limited to:
Centrifuges
Spectrophotometers
Scintillation counters
Chromatography equipment
CO2 incubators
DNA apparatus
Gilson/Rainin Pipette Calibration
We stock necessary seals and rings to recalibrate Gilson and Rainin pipettes at a flat fee of $30 each. Tips, ejectors, plungers, counters and other repair parts are extra at-cost. Pipettes should be checked and calibrated to factory specifications annually.
All pipettes come with a calibration date sticker. Upon request we provide a printout verifying the percent error of their pipettes once they have been serviced.
Welcome!
