A lab’s success depends on many factors from instrument quality to efficient operations, including being partnered with the right vendor. A vendor is more than just a supplier. They should provide you with a high-level quality of support in maximizing the lifespan and performance of your systems, reducing downtime, enhancing ROI and more. How do you know if you’re partnered with the right one? Here are six signs it might be time to find someone new.
Sign 1: They are not an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) service provider
When you’re working in an environment where peak efficiency matters, it’s critical that you can get the support or supplies you need quickly. Who better to provide you with that support than the instrument manufacturer? Acting as your go-to for all your operational needs, they offer a comprehensive selection of specific products and services such as instruments, consumables, maintenance, software, support and repairs. If your lab is still sourcing from multi-vendor providers, it might be time to consider switching. Having a provider like SCIEX that can streamline your requests with one call will save time so you can focus on discovery and what needs to get done.

Sign 2: They don’t carry OEM parts
Quality parts are crucial to helping an instrument run at its peak performance. When a part needs to be repaired or replaced, you want to be sure it’s reliable and long-lasting. OEM parts are often preferred over third-party options because they’re produced by the original manufacturer to the same specifications as the original components.

Sign 3: Their field service team is underperforming
Your standards for operation are high, and the same should go for your field service team. Since your productivity relies on efficient operations, you need a dependable, experienced field service team to keep instruments in tip-top shape and running at their best.

We offer a variety services to keep things running without interruption. They include:

A quality vendor will work with you to get a deeper understanding of your unique needs and collaborate to build and tailor methods to your application area.

Sign 6: They don’t ensure a sustainable return on investment (ROI)
ROI is a critical benchmark in measuring the success of a business. Running a lab is a significant investment and to ensure a sustainable ROI, it’s necessary to maximize operations and have the correct instruments to drive continuous growth for success. With the right resources, you can keep financials flowing in the right direction.

Developing an analytical method can be one of the most rewarding jobs an analytical scientist can do, but it can also be one of the most complex and frustrating. To help guide your practical experiments and thought processes we spoke to Kean Woodmansey to benefit from his experience.
As analytical organizations grow, there is an even greater need to train scientists and operators more consistently to meet tight deadlines, handle increasing samples, and meet data quality expectations. A high rate of employee turnover also affects the productivity of labs worldwide. Consistent training helps today’s labs stay competitive, whether the goal is sample throughput, therapeutic development, or publication.
A few years ago, I was plotting along in my analytical job and keeping up-to-date with residue regulations took a considerable amount of time, but it was always manageable. Nowadays, we have PFAS.
