If requested, we can also provide PM (Preventative Maintenance) certificates for each of your units separately or on a master list. The PM Certificates will describe what transpired during the visit and any problems found.

It is highly recommended that service be done on a bi-annual basis at a minimum. Service can also be done three to four times a year depending on the activity level and cleanliness of your location. 

Evaluation and Repair

General services are billed at $199/hour plus parts. You are under no obligation to repair your equipment. On-site evaluations are available (on-site evaluations entail added costs and will be quoted upon request)

Our evaluation process:

 
+ Block

Before sending your microscope to us, we will provide you with an Evaluation quote. A purchase order or credit card for this quoted amount is enough to get things started. We will also provide a Return Authorization (RMA) number for tracking

Once we have evaluated your equipment, we will provide a follow-up quote for the repair cost. Your purchase order can then be amended for the repair amount or new purchase order can be issued

Some repairs prove to be more expensive than they are worth. If we find this to be the case, we will inform you and give you an option to buy a new microscope or accessory. Should you choose to buy new rather than repair, we will not charge for the evaluation of your original equipment
