What our clients say
"The University has built up something over the years of which
we can be very proud. As a regular user of the welding shop,
machine shop, electrical shop, and glass shop, I feel very
confident that jobs done there will be done properly and
efficiently, and I should add at a reasonable cost."
L. K. Thompson, Department of Chemistry, MUN
"It is gratifying to know that on the Memorial University
campus we have such a dedicated and skilled work force to help us
in getting equipment made to our precise specifications, in a short
duration of time and at a fraction of the price that would have to
be paid otherwise."
Drs. K. Tirunellai, Assistant Professor & M. Kara,
Associate Professor,
School of Pharmacy, MUN
"Technical Services supports research infrastructure and thus
keeps our research credible.
By building non-existent equipment, often from ideas given to
them on paper, Technical Services staff provides unique research
opportunities to our faculty and graduate students.
The repairs are not always straightforward as parts are often
not available for these very old machines, so Technical Services
personnel must improvise and do so quickly. We have found they have
the familiarity and expertise to meet these challenges."
Technical Services has a core of skilled, dedicated people
familiar with the equipment and the operation of our unit - this
fact, and the promptness of the service, are what is so valuable
and crucial to our operation."
Dr. Murray Colbo, Department of Biology, MUN
"Technical Services is crucial to the department both for
teaching and research; without them, we would have closed down a
long time ago.
Over the years, Tech Services has made for us to our
specifications, numerous pieces of equipment. These include
electrophoresis chambers, equilibrium dialysis cells, Bollman
cages, gradient makers, metabolic cage stands, oxygen electrode
regulators, etc. All of these are extremely well made and crucial
to our research and teaching.
Technical Services have been an absolute godsend to us in
terms of keeping our research and teaching labs going."
Dr. Anver Rahimtula, Department of Biochemistry, MUN
