ALERT ! AV500 – PLANNED DISRUPTION NEXT MONDAY

Probehead has a broken insert glass and we are in the process of fixing the issue. We are hopeful the instrument will return to regular use before the end of the day. Nevertheless, users who blocked the instrument this afternoon might consider cancelling the time and look at other instruments.
