FSE service is top notch
In our labs.
My review is not about the instrument or its performance, but rather about the FSE Greg Hyrcza who came to perform the PM on the instruments we have. Greg is 1 of the most professional, courteous, accommodating, and considerate FSEs I've had the pleasure of working with. Greg is an excellent representative of Elga LabWater and the organization is lucky to have him.
