Service work is where we work with you on the instrument or in your absence. You can ship your samples to us for the investigation. The samples will be shipped back to you upon completion. We are set up for video conferencing via Skype, to allow you to work with us on your sample remotely. The cost for service work consists of the instrument fee and the operator fee.
