Instrumentation must perform with reliability, accuracy, and sensitivity despite a variety of adverse factors such as the environment, daily usage, diversity of users and level of care which can negatively impact an instrument’s daily performance as well as shorten its lifespan.

In order meet these expectations, continuous care must be given to your laboratory’s instrumentation. A critical component to continuous care is regular preventive maintenance.

Benefits of preventive maintenance:

• Prevention of downtime
• Extension of the useful life of the instrument
• Less probability of a costly breakdown
• More reliable instrument
• Increased likelihood that the instrument will maintain it’s operational specifications
• Minimization of potential contamination issues
• A safer instrument for staff

Not only preventive, but predictive maintenance
PerkinElmer service engineers, due to years of experience, can diagnose impending problems and propose remedial actions before system failure. Interpreting the signs of wear, corrosion, discoloration, evidence of rubbing etc. is a predictive diagnostic of future instrument performance.
