The laser system that the Wright Group's MR-CMDS instruments use requires regular maintenance. %
Each component is sensitive to lab conditions such as temperature, humidity, and vibrations. %

don't touch otherwise'' kind of approach. %
This approach makes a lot of sense for instruments that are quick to fix, and have few active
users. %

I instituted a proactive, regular maintenance procedure (described below) that has improved the
predictability of instrumental performance. %
Predictability is key for instruments with multiple users. %
