Does LabX repair or service equipment?

LabX can help connect you to qualified service providers, but LabX does not service any equipment ourselves. Visit Service.labx to find a list of companies that service various scientific equipment. You can select service providers based on the type of equipment you need assistance with and contact them through the site.

You can also find help on LabWrench, which provides an equipment forum where people can post their questions and get answers from the scientific community.
