Vendor Maintenance & Repair Services
If departmental research or laboratory equipment is under warranty, you should contact the manufacturer for service.

GBSF autoclaves are covered by a maintenance contract with Tuttnauer USA, through 6/30/08. Service requests can be phoned in directly to Gerald Brester at 510-774-0790 or 800-624-5836. GBSF dishwashers are covered by a maintenance contract with Steriquip, Inc., through 6/30/08. Service requests can be phoned in directly to Greg Drummond at 530-902-4005. Gas bottles, tanks, and their manifolds are serviced by the vendor. If these are connected to the building infrastructure and you suspect the source of the problem may be in the infrastructure, you may want to contact O&M first (752-1655), as vendors are not able to evaluate and repair building infrastructure.
