This page provides a list of some of the equipment and measurement capabilities in the lab. We are in the process of expanding so this page is guaranteed to be out of date. Remember this: if it involves heat transfer in electronic equipment, we can measure it. If we don't yet have the equipment in the lab for your project, we'll get it.
