Testimonials

The LSI Workshop guys have saved me a lot of $$ over the years, dealing with things ranging from -80 freezers to PCR thermocyclers. The costs for repairs, on balance, are much less than would have been needed for buying a new piece of equipment. The Club 500 is a good deal!

Dr. Tom Beatty, Professor, Dept. of Microbiology & Immunology

As longtime customers, we are very happy with the diversity and quality of services of the LSI Workshop team. On many occasions we have been able to save substantially on both time and money by having Adam and George repair electrical and mechanical issues to a wide range of scientific equipment in our lab.

Dr. Natalie Strynadka, Professor, Dept. of Biochemistry

I am extremely happy with the service by the LSI workshop staff. As an example, they went out of their way to negotiate for replacement costs for the heating element in our still and saved us over $1,000.00 when the first element burned out after a month. Everything they have done for us has been done well and timely.

Dr. Wayne Vogl, Professor, Dept. of Cellular and Physiological Sciences
