A Combined Calibration and Repair Department: The Smart Choice for A Biotechnology Company

摘要

Many biotechnology companies feel they cannot afford to have a calibration and/or repair department. In an attempt to save money, they hire outside vendors on an as needed basis. However, this is not necessarily a money saving strategy. At Promega Corporation, a biotechnology company, their metrology department provides comprehensive in-house support for the calibration and repair of the large variety of test equipment used throughout the company. Having a metrology department that combines calibration and repair functions resulted in substantial savings as well as a 66% decrease in down time for vital test equipment. The ability to provide accurate, traceable and repeatable test equipment measurements, through timely calibration and repair support, will improve the success and bottom line of your company.
