Laboratory Support Group
The Laboratory Support Group (LSG) is here to help you with your experimental research and teaching activities in the physics department.
At our location in the HPF building you may find support for media installations, cryogenic and press gases as well as for issues regarding infrastructure.
At our location in the HPR building we provide support for vacuum technology. We also run a coating service and a workshop for special laboratory technology and repairs.
