 | SYSTEM REPAIRS | System repairs covers the diagnosis and replacement of faulty components and parts. |
| LASER REPLACEMENTS | I am able to replace the lasers on both Bio-Rad and Olympus systems with either new or refurbished laser heads and power supplies depending on your requirements and budget. The Bio-Rad lasers are listed on the Upgrades page and the Olympus lasers are:- Argon and Krypton lasers, HeNe lasers and diode lasers. Please make an enquiry for the lasers on the Nikon C1 system. |
| LASER UPGRADES | Adding additional lasers, upgrading lasers to solid state diodes or increased output power or both. For additional information please see the Upgrades page. |
| GENERAL SERVICING | A specified 'tailor made' service on the required areas of the system to your individual needs. |
| PREVENTATIVE MAINTAINANCE VISITS | This is a comprehensive service checking every area of the system as recommended by Bio-Rad at the time of manufacture. |
| FILTER BLOCK ALIGNMENT | SOS owns both the original production filter cube alignment jigs combined with the ‘Master’ filter blocks for all the MRC Family systems (from MRC-500 to MRC-1024ES), therefore all filter blocks can be serviced and re-aligned back to factory standard. |
| SYSTEM RELOCATIONS | This involves every step in the process of a system move from inspection, de-commissioning and packing then the transportation to the new location where the re-installation and commissioning is to take place. The move can be anywhere within the UK, from along the corridor to another town or city. For longer journeys professional factory standard transit / shipping cases are available. |
| DECOMMISSIONING AND PACKING | Where a third party is required to physically move the system either here in the UK or abroad I can inspect, decommission and pack the system in readiness for the move. |
| INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING | If for example, you have a system that has come from overseas or you have moved a system within the UK yourself and it requires setting up, I offer an installation and commissioning service. Alternatively, if you have moved a system overseas I can travel to the new location and provide the same services. |
| SYSTEM UPGRADES | I am able to carry out hardware and software upgrades which would increase system functionality. For additional information please see the Upgrades page. |
| MICROSCOPE EXCHANGES | Would you like to change your microscope from inverted to upright or vice versa? Have you obtained a previously loved system but there is no microscope? Would you like to add a second microscope? I am able to get the required parts made if I do not already have them in stock including those required for laser safety, the Scanhead, transmission detector and the ‘Z’ drive adaptors. Adaptors also for Multi-Photon External Detectors. |
| SYSTEM SALES | The supply of a complete Confocal System including the microscope if required. |
| SYSTEM HIRE | Hire a complete working Confocal Imaging System installed in your laboratory including the microscope (inverted or upright) if you do not have access to one. |
| SERVICE CONTRACTS | For more information on the service contracts, I am offering please use the CONTRACTS button at the top of the page. |
| CUSTOM SOLUTIONS | If you have a special requirement which needs a custom solution or a need for something that is not listed then please enquire to investigate the possibilities. |
| TECHNICAL SUPPORT | I can provide technical support either by telephone or email with the use of my setup test systems in the workshop. |
| TRAINING COURSES | Knowing how to effectively operate your Confocal microscope to reach its research potential is key. Has the main person with all the knowledge left, a retraining refresher course, acquired a system, or system managers training (includes basic adjustments) - no matter the requirement we offer a wide range of bespoke training to cover all your needs including system workings. |
| WORKSHOP REPAIRS | When the piece of equipment is small enough to be shipped or local enough to be collected then workshop repairs are possible. |
| MICROSCOPE SERVICE | I am able to service microscopes either attached to a Bio-Rad Confocal Imaging System or a stand alone setup. |
