Submitting Work to the Glass Shop

 


The Glass Shop fabricates and repairs custom apparatus or instruments for UD research and teaching labs. It can also modify purchased items to better meet research needs. As a convenience, the shop stores basic sizes of pyrex tubing. Customers must supply all parts and products not in stock. Always purchase quality pyrex or compatible glassware/parts to ensure the best chance of any future repair. Feel free to schedule an appointment for assistance with design options, locating parts/ products or other related questions.


1. You may phone or email for an appointment.

2. Bring a print, sketch (or basic idea) and be sure to specify any critical dimensions.

3. Submit a “request for service form”, along with a chargeable UD purpose code.

4. Let me know if you require an estimate of project costs or completion date.

  • Any glassware brought in for repair or modification must be “clean” and free of all contaminates. Your job will not be worked on if this is not done properly. Some relatively harmless residues can become quite hazardous (to me) at high temperatures.
  • See me if your job is an emergency and I will try to accommodate you if at all possible.
  • You will be contacted (preferably by email) when your job is completed.
  • To allow sufficient uninterrupted working time, please try to drop off work between 8-9am and 1-2pm whenever possible. However emergencies are welcome anytime.
  • Due to vacation, working on-site, etc it is always a good idea to phone before coming from another department.
  • The Shop is closed between 12:00 and 1:00 for lunch.

Please remember to leave me the request for service form when work is picked up
