Repair & Development Section

Contact: Olivier Graber

The Department of Chemistry Science has a long-established Electronics Workshop that provides a service to assist the development, maintenance and safety of its research and teaching facilities.

 

We deal with a diverse range of equipment and facilities relevant to contemporary chemistry science. It is located, with essential resources immediately on hand, within the department's main buildings.

 

The development of repair work may be based in the workshop itself or may, as necessary, be undertaken by the workshop where the items are sited.
