Maintenance of your laboratory equipment is not something you think about every day, you assume it will be there ready for you to use. However, mechanical and electrical equipment does need attention.

Scheduled preventive maintenance will help your equipment stay in good working condition and is essential for increased reliability. Microscope lenses need to be cleaned for optimal performance and their mechanical components need to be inspected for "stiffening" grease that would lead to damaging parts. Autoclaves/sterilizers have several general maintenance parts that are designed to be replaced on a periodic basis, such as door gaskets, bellows and o-rings. Also, the chamber temperature should be verified for accuracy against the unit's gauges. Many centrifuges also have general maintenance items that need periodic replacements, such as motor brushes and tube cushions. Through scheduled preventive maintenance from Davis Instrument, these problems can be identified and solved before they lead to more costly repairs.

Like other mechanical and electronic equipment, there will be failures. Heating elements in sterilizers will fail, motors in centrifuges will wear and mechanical stages on microscopes can break. Unfortunately, these problems cannot be identified in advance. When your equipment fails, Davis Instrument understands your need to be operational as quickly as possible. Because each repair situation is unique, we first evaluate your situation and then recommend the repair solution that is best for you. This may mean on-site emergency service, shipping your unit to our shop for repair, or helping solve your immediate problem over the telephone.
