Dear user, We had this week the TFS engineer to perform the preventive maintenance of the Apreo SEM as well as additional alignments and part replacement. However, she needs additional time to finish the work so we need to cancel reservations planned for tomorrow morning. Apologize for the inconvenience.

19 Sep '21

Hello Apreo users, I hope you all had a great start to the semester! I would like to inform you that we are scheduling supervisor alignment procedure for Apreo on coming Friday (September 17th) starting 1 PM. I am expecting this procedure to take about 1.5-2 days to complete. I would really like if you don’t schedule Apreo usage during this time. I am informing you all ahead of time, so you can schedule your analyses before Friday. I will send an email when the alignment procedure is completed and the equipment is ready for use again. I really appreciate your cooperation on this!
