Our Laboratory
We are the largest data recovery laboratory in the Czech Republic. Professional data recovery requires specialized equipment and a highly clean environment for opening disks.
Due to the extremely high costs, it is not feasible to establish such a well-equipped laboratory in multiple cities. That is why we provide free pickup of damaged media to our central laboratory from all over the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
We also handle orders for other service centers and companies offering data recovery and restoration.
Our facility
As the only data recovery laboratory in the Czech Republic, we have a two-level cleanroom – Class 1000/100 Cleanroom (ISO 6/5) with an area of 200m². The environment with special filters allows us to maintain cleanliness that is 10,000 times greater than in a standard room (for example, in 1m³ only 29 dust particles of 5 micrometers are allowed, while in a regular room, there are over 300,000). We perform control measurements using a laser particle counter. To remove any loose contaminants from workers' suits and materials, it is necessary to pass through an airlock with an air shower before entering the clean areas. The cleanroom is kept under constant slight overpressure, which prevents contamination from the surrounding environment.
Data media are highly sensitive to electrostatic discharge. In our laboratory, protection against electrostatic phenomena is ensured by a full EPA system according to ČSN EN 61340-5-1 (flooring, tables, work attire) and additional ionizers that break down static charges on work surfaces.
In addition to the cleanroom, we also use a range of dust-free boxes for less demanding tasks. We also have a small portable dust-free box and a portable data recovery device for on-site work with customers.
Our equipment
For data recovery, we use specialized devices that allow access to the disk in manufacturer mode. This enables us not only to diagnose disk errors but also to intervene in the manufacturing service track and modify important disk parameters (see technical details). We have several of these very expensive machines and are able to process more than 10 heavily damaged disk recovery jobs simultaneously.
In data recovery from disks where reading data can take several dozen hours due to damage, we use automatic stations. These continuously monitor and evaluate the reading process, and in case of a problem, the entire process is halted to prevent further damage to the disk.
During data recovery from mechanically damaged devices, we also use a special microscope (worth the price of a higher-class car) that allows us to perform precise diagnostics of mechanical damage.
During data recovery from disks with electronic failures, our technicians have access to a range of oscilloscopes, soldering stations (micro-soldering and hot air), BGA soldering stations, precision multimeters, and other equipment.
