  •   PerkinElmer Launches OneSource® Laboratory Relocation

Worry-Free, Total Solution for All Aspects of Relocation Regardless of OEM or Scope

WALTHAM, MA -- January 30, 2007 -- PerkinElmer Inc. (NYSE: PKI), a global leader in Health Sciences and Photonics, today announced the introduction of its OneSource Laboratory Relocation service designed to handle the complex and time-consuming burdens laboratories face when moving equipment from one location to another. The service is available globally to facilitate the move of all laboratory equipment regardless of technology or manufacturer.

“OneSource can take care of every aspect of a relocation to enable scientists to keep their focus on the science,” said Dr. Joseph Tehrani, global business leader, Multi-vendor Validation and Relocation Solutions, PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences.  “We take away the headaches – from pre-testing and inspection of equipment before a move through shipping, set-up and qualification testing.”  He added that the turnkey relocation service also encompasses preventive maintenance; moving of chemicals and samples; transportation; insurance; customs; and installation, qualification and commissioning at the new location.

“We streamline the process for customers – whether they’re a large pharmaceutical company or a small contract lab,” Tehrani added. “Customers have a single point of contact, a plan to minimize downtime, strong communication and realize increased efficiencies from PerkinElmer’s proven approach.”

“While any relocation is complex, organizations in heavily regulated environments, such as pharmaceutical companies, have the added need to document their process in a very deliberate fashion to ensure continued compliance,” Tehrani said.  “That’s no simple task, particularly when working with customized equipment from multiple vendors. Our experts remove this burden, enabling customers to focus on the pace and precision of their research and testing.”
