Great DW service engineer

Martyn (DW service engineer) is brilliant. Always available when we need him. Always calls ahead for planned service visits. Always gets to us as soon as he possibly can when we have an issue with the anaerobe cabinet. Can't fault the team or the service by DW.

Annual cabinet service

An exceptional service from start to finish

An exceptional service from start to finish. Arranging the engineer visit to coincide with insurance inspections was straightforward. The calibrations were conducted professionally and efficiently, and the calibration certificates issued in timely fashion.

Anaerobic chambers & service contract

We have used anaerobic chambers, degassing systems & service contracts for over 10 years. The level of support, the quality & reliability have underpinned our decisions. However its the extra elements, the staff, the lines of communication & the ability to just know everything is reliable that makes the difference. In short excellent, fully recommend.

Always a good experience with Don Whitley

We've been a customer of Don Whitley for over 10 years and we always have a good experience from all aspects, from Sales to Customer Services, Orders to Repairs and Technical Support. Most recently, Jake came within 48h of call to repair one of our workstations. He diagnosed the problem instantly, fixed it in no time and cleaned up the machine and gave us tips on how to keep it working efficiently. I highly recommend Don Whitley.

Great professional service once again…

Great professional service once again by Adam. Also helped out with a cylinder issue to save us money when the incubator isn't in use by setting up a new connector to keep anaerobic chamber pressure and only run off one cylinder.

Great Service as always

We had an engineer/ calibration engineer Martin Perry attend our site to perform our annual autoclave calibration. He was friendly, knowledgeable and even helped give more information on the data the equipment gives to help us keep our equipment in the best condition.
Martin continued to show great value for us to use Don Whitley for our calibrations.

DWS.

Had Martin on site today to carry out a service on 2 instruments and investigate the cause of a heating issue. He was able to sort the problem and complete the services working with our site engineers to get to the bottom of the heating issue. Customer service end of DWS is also solid, no complaints.

Reliable cabinets and excellent customer service

We have been using DW cabinets for a long time now and the level of support has consistently been excellent. The equipment is reliable and th aftercare gives real peace of mind in a busy laboratory environment. We are extremely happy with our new A45 anaerobic cabinet and just as importantly, with the outstanding service we have received from day one. Whenever we have had a query or problem, emails have been answered promptly and within 24/48h we have had an engineer on site checking that everything was working as it should.
We would definitely recommend both the A45 Anaerobic cabinet and Don Whitley to anyone looking for high-quality equipment back up by genuinely excellent customer service.
