Workshop

The Department of Physics, Chemistry and Pharmacy has its own workshop, where you can find help for the department apparatuses and for manufacturing special equipment for the laboratories. The workshop also changes pressure bottles, oil, and much more.

Match person to task

We have a mechanical workshop and an electronics workshop and we are happy to overlap professionally, but we have our very own areas of expertise. In the list below, we have tried to give you an overview so that you can quickly find out whom to contact.

Task match: Look into the list to find your workshop contact

Danny can be contacted regarding:

  • If there are faults on the building and its installations. For example, power is missing from an electrical outlet, the fume cupboard gives alarm or the sink is clogged. Alternatively, an email can be sent to 8888@sdu.dk with danny@sdu.dk on cc describing the problem, room number and possibly fume cupboard ID.
  • By requests for building changes/ extensions. For example, new outlet, point suction or lab conversion. Here, in collaboration with Danny, an application is prepared, which must be approved by the head of department. The task is then prioritised together with the other building plans of science.

Henrik can be contacted regarding:

  • Movement/change of furniture, shelves or paintings.

Henrik is contacted regarding (if Henrik is absent and the need is acute, Lars can help):

  • Ordering and changing gas cylinders
  • Filling liquid nitrogen

 

Danny is contacted regarding:

  • Gas supply failures via fume cupboards and building installations

Danny is contacted regarding:

  • HPLC, UV/VIS, MS, CD, power supplies, etc.

 

Lars is contacted regarding:

  • Repair of mechanical parts of appliances
  • Changing hoses to water or gas on appliances
  • Help with glassware. For example, stuck stoppers in bottle necks.

 

Henrik is contacted regarding:

  • Repair of various electrical appliances, everything from coffee machines to magnetic stirrers, shaker boards, vacuum pumps, centrifuges and more
  • Change of oil
  • Error messages on the coffee machines in the kitchens

When time permits, we have the opportunity to build various electronic equipment or equipment for the laboratories. You can see examples of custom equipment under your contacts.

Danny is contacted regarding:

  • Special cables for battery testing
  • Conversion of equipment. E.g. phased out NMR robot for dipping robot
  • Fiber isolated thermo couple amplifier
  • Manufacture of electronics based on existing designs

 

Lars is contacted regarding:

  • Development of holder/stoppers/mixing motor/other mechanical to be custom made. An outline of the desired element is a good starting point. The elements can be made of both plastic and metal (e.g. aluminum, stainless steel and brass). For example, holder for centrifuges or glass vials etc.

 

Examples of custom-built equipment from the Workshop:

Diode laser 

UHV chamber for atomic source

UHV chamber for an STM (scanning tunnel microscope)

When time permits, we have the opportunity to build Labview software.

Danny is contacted regarding:

  • Software for controlling older Auger electron spectroscopy equipment
  • Temperature control system for MIMS
  • Filter wheel control for Laser scanning microscope with Windows user interface
  • Software for transferring data from oscilloscope in physics exercises

When time permits, we have the opportunity to build various equipment for the laboratories. Among other things, holders have been made for flasks, samples and plastic tubes. A holder for 6 x 50 mL centrifuge tubes made on the 3D printer cost approx. DKK 7 for materials.

Lars is contacted regarding:

  • Print of various plastic components with 3D-Print. Lars helps with the design and shaping of the subject.



User manuals

We have compiled a selection of user manuals for some of the department's devices:

LEO 15XX (Manual)

Bo is contacted regarding (if Bo is absent and the need is acute, Lars can help):

  • Ordering and changing gas cylinders
  • Filling liquid nitrogen

 

Danny is contacted regarding:

  • Gas supply failures via fume cupboards and building installations

Abbe (Manual)

Shimadzu (Manual)
