Caring for your Quantachrome Instruments

If you need repair of your Quantachrome instrument, or have a problem with an analysis that does not seem to be simply application related, please contact our Service Department here in the United States or your local authorized Quantachrome representative. To contact the Quantachrome Service Department, call 1-800-989-2476 between 8:30am and 5:00pm Eastern Time, use our electronic contact form, or send an email to qc.service@quantachrome.com. Many problems can be easily identified and quickly rectified without recourse to a service visit. But, if physical repair is required, this can be effected on-site at your facility by one of our highly-trained service technicians or by returning the instrument to our factory. Our service personnel will be pleased to discuss the most time- and cost-effective way to minimize disruption to your lab operation.

When you first contact Quantachrome, please provide or have the following information readily available: instrument name and type (eg NOVA4200e), serial number (to be found on the plate affixed to the rear of the unit), detailed description of the problem (for example please write-down any error messages, valve status when problem was first noticed or any other abnormal indications), recent history of the unit (was the gas supply recently swapped, or was the unit relocated, or other external influence) and software and firmware verions (where appropriate). If a malfunction is suspected because of highly unusual data, please email an example or two of an affected data file together with any log file the instrument might have generated.
