Scientific Glassblowing
Glassblowing services are carried out from the Yale University Glass Shop. The drop-off location for all scientific glassware repairs will be on the large metal shelf across from the machine shop (room R006) in the Chemistry building.
Specifications
Place your clean, broken glassware into a sturdy cardboard box along with a sheet containing the PI name, contact name, phone number, email, and any specific instructions for our glassblower Daryl Smith (daryl.smith@yale.edu). Please use bubble wrap or paper to make sure the boxes can be transported by car without further damage to your glassware.
The boxes will be picked up at regular intervals and repaired glassware will be placed back on the shelf when completed. Users will be notified when the glassware was repaired and/or is back.
Users may also drop off their glassware at the Mechanical or Electrical COR²E facilities in Thomson Hall on the Depot campus (at 30 Ahern Lane).
Please contact Daryl directly to discuss any special projects.
