Charlie Meyers

Senior Bond and Peloris Technician


If you own a Leica Peloris tissue processor or Bond immunostainer there is a good chance that you have had the pleasure of meeting Charlie Meyers. A nationally acknowledged guru on Bond stainers and Peloris processors, Charlie's command of these instruments is without equal.

Present during the inception and development of these instruments and with over thirteen years of Leica field service experience Charlie knows every nut, screw, tube and electron that holds these units together. Charlie has serviced many hundreds of labs across the US and is known as a pre-eminent authority in his specialty. Reliable, dedicated, extremely intelligent and very personable, customers love and respect Charlie knowing they are in the best of hands when he walks through their door. If you have a down Bond or Peloris unit, Charlie will fix it right and fix it fast.

Based near Nashville, TN, A typical work week for Charlie is being in two states one day, three states the next and twelve states by the end of the week. With his eyes spinning after a marathon of work, Charlie will be heading to his next client with tubes, wires and integrated circuit boards sticking out of every pants pocket. By Friday you will usually find nuts, screws, fuses, capacitors and transistors nested into his socks. He won't be able to tell you where he is and maybe not even who he is, but every machine he touched will be as good or better than when shipped out of the factory.

By traditional standards, Charlie is a little bit, kinda sorta, NUTS. His personality is lots of type A, some type B with very healthy smatterings of all other types, C through Z. Whatever the hell he is, he's an absolute genius savant and works harder than anybody you will ever meet. The "Cookoo for Cocoa Puffs" Toucan is a joke compared to a "Cookoo for Field Service" Charlie and the "Ever ready Bunny" is a lazy slob. "Ever ready Charlie" likely has uranium batteries that NEVER stop.

On his days off Charlie enjoys life with his wonderful wife Stephanie, tending to their horses and working on their small farm. Charlie is an avid knitter and wiles away his spare time in airplanes, hotel rooms, at sporting events and in front of football games on TV, knitting booties, sweaters and blankies for his grandchildren Sarah, Jacob, Tito, Brutus, Julia and Penelope, none of who yet exist.
