Your laboratory's productivity is closely tied to the products you purchase; and you are buying more than just the product, you are selecting a partner who can play an intimate role in your ongoing success.
Unplanned instrument downtime can be expensive and have a negative impact on your laboratory output in terms of the quality of results you obtain and the time it takes you to generate results.
Your instrument purchase is just the beginning of Bio-Rad's partnership with you to help you get the most out of your technology investment. We offer various levels of flexible Service Plans and optional additional services to help you plan a level of support that will meet your specific laboratory needs and budget.
Why Should You Consider a Flexible Service Plan?
Your Bio-Rad instrument is a high-quality, carefully engineered product. For best performance you should consider the following:
- Ensure optimal performance and extended instrument lifetime through regular, expert servicing as per manufacturer's recommendations
- Minimise instrument downtime to ensure optimal laboratory productivity and accuracy of results
- Plan your budget to avoid the risk of incremental cost of emergency repairs
- Maximise the operational lifetime of your instrument and consequently reduce the overall cost burden
- Have the assurance of priority and easy access to a responsive Instrument Service and Customer Technical Support network
