I would like to thank you for your professional
expertise, efficiency and co-operation in our recent emergency
request for a special equipment for one of our very special
patients. It was done with such distinction that sets an example
for this region and perhaps at an international level.

I am writing to thank you
and your staff for the high level of support that we have
received from the TSC in the past and present as regards
developing the Departmentˇ¦s (and Universityˇ¦s) positron facility.
The help that you have and are giving is helping us to develop
a unique research tool, that will be amongst the best of
its type in the East Asia region.
- Dr. C.D. Beling,

Thank you very much for
your help and that of your colleagues in constructing two
professional and high-quality virus models for Professor
Shortridge for display at the Universityˇ¦s pavilion in Innovation
Expo, which has just successfully concluded yesterday. It
takes time, dedication and hard work to build up a good image
for an organization, and your contribution certainly means
a lot in this process for the University.
- Professor C.F. Lee, Pro-Vice-Chancellor

Since 1998 the fund
allocation for TSC is less than the salary commitment and the users
pay for a fraction of the labour cost in order to make up the difference.
Bearing in mind the interests of both the University and the users,
TSC pays much attention to both quality and productivity. Our charges
are very competitive compared with market rates for the quality
of work.
In the past some users forgot to take into account of the equipment
expenses in their project proposals and subsequently faced financial
difficulties when they come to TSC for service. In order to ensure
that equipment budget is taken care of, the research grant agents
(such as RGC) will consider equipment estimate made by TSC if it
is included in the research proposal. You are therefore encouraged
to contact us as early as possible at the project proposal planning
stage to get an estimate of the equipment cost and make sure that
it is budgeted for.
Our facilities are located at G/F, Haking Wong Bldg and 20/F,
Hing Wai Centre. You are most welcome to come to see our facilities
anytime. We are pleased to explain to you our capacity and examples
of the equipment and artifact that we have made.
The sustainability of our services relies on the users' continuing
support. Please take us as your partner and give us a ring anytime.
