Service and calibration for the instruments your research runs on
Spectrofuge technicians maintain, repair and calibrate centrifuges, incubators, shakers and balances in labs across North Carolina. Each unit is on a preventive maintenance schedule, so wear gets caught at a visit instead of in the middle of a run.

How a service contract works
List your equipment
We record each unit’s make, model, serial number, building and room, and quote a plan for each one.
Book the year
Your PMs go on the schedule a year ahead, so you know which month each unit is due.
Service and tag
A technician services the unit in your lab and tags it with the date and the next due date.
Keep the record
Every visit is kept against the unit’s serial number, ready for audits and inspections.
