At ScientifiCo, our Preventive Maintenance (PM) program is designed to keep your analytical instruments performing at peak efficiency, minimize unplanned downtime, and extend equipment lifespan. By proactively addressing wear-and-tear before it becomes a critical failure, we help you maintain data consistency, meet regulatory requirements, and optimize return on investment.
Our Approach
- Comprehensive Inspection
- Electrical checks (power supplies, grounding, signal integrity)
- Mechanical assessments (pumps, valves, seals, bearings)
- Fluidic system review (tubing, filters, flow cells)
- Precision Cleaning & Calibration
- Ultrasonic or solvent cleaning of critical components
- Flow-rate and pressure verification against manufacturer specs
- Detector performance checks (baseline noise, drift, sensitivity)
- Component Replacement & Adjustment
- OEM filter and seal swaps (e.g., sheath filters on flow cytometers, frits on HPLCs)
- Pump head re‑lubrication or rebuild
- Software and firmware updates to ensure compatibility and security
- Performance Validation
- Run standardized test protocols with reference standards
- Document key metrics (retention time, peak symmetry, signal‐to‐noise)
- Troubleshoot any deviations immediately
Key Benefits
- Maximized Uptime: Scheduled visits prevent emergency repairs and laboratory interruptions.
- Consistent Data Quality: Routine calibration and validation safeguard against drift and variability.
- Regulatory Compliance: Detailed service reports support GLP/GMP audit trails.
- Cost Savings: Early detection of aging parts reduces expensive emergency repairs.
Recommended Schedule
We typically recommend a full PM every 6–12 months, tailored to instrument usage and criticality. High‑throughput labs may benefit from quarterly visits, while moderate‑use systems can often maintain performance on a biannual cycle.
