Hi Mike,
We have several types and manufacturers of chillers. First let me say we had a Lydall Infinity chiller on a Plasmatherm system. It was ok. I still have it and it was repaired twice in 8 years. The company has been bought out by Boyde Corporation and they will still repair them in New Hampshire. Unfortunately they do not make these chillers anymore. They are local so it is still affordable to ship and repair. While it was out being repaired, I bought a Jalabo Presto chiller to replace it. It took some engineering to get it to communicate with the system but it is working really well. I have several SMC chillers and the ones that run on Galden are great. !0 years on both with no issues. The DI/distilled water chillers break down every 3 to 4 years it seems. To repair they need to be sent to Japan, a major pain. My recommendation is to call Boyde(781) 208-0094 Scott Jukubec and see if they can repair it. If you need to replace it, I recommend Julabo over SMC just because of price and serviceability.

Subject: [labnetwork] STS DRIE chiller replacement
All,
We're looking for a replacement chiller for our STS DRIE. The original system included a Lydall Affinity chiller p/n RWA-012T-CE55. I believe it is a 1200W heating and cooling system with the DI water filtration system. Has anyone replaced their unit and if so what manufacturer and model number?
Thanks,

Lab Network,
How much time (actual people hours) does your facility spend onboarding new users, per user on average? What is included in that time? I am specifically asking about getting projects set up (billing, contact info, contracts if applicable) and getting them through required initial training before they ever touch or train on a tool.
Do you have automated systems to do this, or does it involve a staff member(s) interacting with the users personally, back and forth?
I'd love to know your experiences as we continue to improve our own.
Best,

Aimee:
We have a business admin that manages our intake.
Under the hood, there is a Google form that is connected to a Google Sheet.
When a new entry is created (which is a new row in the Google Sheet), a
free Google Sheet plugin triggers the creation of a PDF from a Google Doc
template. We require signatures on this PDF via DocuSign. The signature
panels (and other field information depending if they're internal or
external) via DocuSign are setup manually and administered via our business
admin. Since we've eliminated email, there is a good amount of tracking
that is managed digitally via the Google Form (Google Sheet) and DocuSign.
You can get an idea of the questions we ask on our form via our onboarding
link: https://www.nano.upenn.edu/working-with-us/getting-started/
When the signatures (other info acquisition) are completed, our business
admin goes into NEMO-CE to create the users, projects, etc. The
instructions to do so are part of the document so in case our process
changes, it is documented accordingly.
How quickly a new gets trained depends on how quickly signatures are
obtained from the PI, grants manager and/or user and the availability of
one of our three cores for training from which they are requesting training.
