Leadership in Asset Management, including Multi-Vendor Services and Managed Maintenance, Strengthens Thermo Electron’s Laboratory Services Capabilities at Pittcon 2005

Thermo Electron Corporation, the world leader in analytical instruments, will promote its leadership in laboratory services at Pittcon 2005, Booth # 2917, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, February 27 – March 4. Asset management services join Thermo’s New Lab initiative, product support and other professional services to create the most comprehensive laboratory services portfolio in the industry.

Thermo’s industry-leading asset management programs provide tailored solutions that optimize lab performance and reduce costs. 

As part of Thermo’s asset management offering, the managed maintenance program provides guaranteed savings on maintenance costs across the customer’s entire facility/enterprise, covering a wide variety of instruments and manufacturers. Additional savings and increased productivity are achieved by replacing numerous individual vendor contracts with a single contract. In addition to gaining control over their assets, customers appreciate the flexibility of the program, which provides them the ability to choose their preferred service provider for maintenance services. 

Multi-vendor compliance services assist customers in the pharmaceutical and other regulated industries in complying with regulatory requirements. Thermo provides preventive and corrective maintenance, software validation, instrument qualification, and regulatory and laboratory consulting services. These services are provided across a full spectrum of manufacturers’ instruments, equipment and software.

Thermo has been invited to present three papers at Pittcon related to services:

  1. Managing Multiple Instrument Types and Equipment Manufacturers within the Regulated Laboratory Environment
  2. The Critical Document for Computer Validation (Validation Plans)
  3. Reducing Lab Equipment Maintenance Costs: Best Practices Details on scheduling and location of the presentations will be forthcoming.

In addition to its significant services offering, Thermo will be exhibiting a wide range of industry leading instrumentation and software at Booth # 2917.  PITTCON highlights include user-friendly and cost-effective turnkey solutions for the modern laboratory with an emphasis on easy implementation, performance and integration.
