The VSRC Electronics Module designs and constructs analog/digital devices as well as research instrumentation to very stringent specifications. There is no fee for the services provided to VSRC members and their staff; however a small fee may apply to non-stock materials. The module also offers the expertise in repair and maintenance of existing electronic or electromechanical equipment ranging from pH meters and tabletop centrifuges to autoclaves, personal computers, and mass spectrometers.

Examples for repair/service projects:

• Data acquisition equipmentAC/DC signal amplifiers, filters, head stages
• Temperature controllers, voltage/current amplifiers and stimulators
• Centrifuges, microfuges, and chillers
• HPLC, Liquid scintillation counters
•  Lasers, NMR, Mass spectrometers
• Fraction collectors
•  Spectrophotometer, photo detectors, and radiation detectors
• Gel boxes for electrophoresis power supplies for electrophoresis

The VSRC-Electronics Module is staffed by an experienced engineer who provides a variety of support functions ranging from basic electronics to the newest surface mount technology (SMT). The engineer works closely with the scientists from initial ideas to completion to produce quality instruments that meet exact specifications. The main goal is to support members with design, fabrication, or modification of electronic instruments that they are not commercially available.
