The UW-Madison Department of Chemistry Shops serve the researchers in our department and the broader UW-Madison community. We offer three major services:

  1. Design and construct custom instrumentation and accessories for research.
  2. Support student and faculty efforts through offerings of inventory, tools, training, and workspaces.
  3. Repair laboratory instruments, appliances, and accessories.

We are divided into four separate shops, each focused on a particular specialty:

  1. Electronics Shop
  2. Glass Shop
  3. Machine Shop
  4. Pump Shop

Often a particular job will involve multiple shops, in which case any staff member is an appropriate point-of-contact to get started.

We focus on supporting UW-Madison research and teaching efforts, and are generally not available for public or undergraduate work. We are happy to work with researchers outside of the Chemistry Department, time allowing.
