What we do:

We provide support for design, modification, repair and maintenance of chemical instrumentation for the Department of Chemistry including firmware support, computerization, chip level repair, design of control and data acquisition hardware, and design of fast and low noise signal processing equipment. We also provide power and environment surveys to diagnose instrumental problems and to support the Ethernet physical layer design and maintenance.

Service Request Submission:
Service requests are filed by filling out a CISG Service Request Form (See attached example) and submitting it to the CISG at 1130 NW. Verbal and email requests are not accepted.

Parts and electronic supplies are also available at replacement cost.

Charges:
Parts are sold at replacement cost. Only parts used in the delivered repair or design are charged to the requester. Labor Costs - $6.00 per hour in 0.25 hour increments. Repair and design labor costs are charged for work which results in a deliverable solution.

Common Difficulties to be Avoided:

  1. Never buy an instrument without complete service schematics. CISG can not and does not attempt to make repairs on undocumented equipment. Repairs will be delayed until schematics can be acquired.
  2. Unless you really believe that you can complete the repair, please do not disassemble equipment prior to bringing it to the CISG for repairs.
  3. Include all symptoms and problems on the service request. Make sure the requester's name, room number, building and phone number are legible.
  4. The "Prof." entry should be the person or course account which will be charged for the service request. Caley accounts will be charged unless another account number is included.
