Failure to select a manufacturer approved service plan option for lab instruments can be a costly error for lab procurement managers, often resulting in premature equipment failures, voided manufacturer’s warranties, and expensive repairs or replacements. So, by the time a customer reaches out to their supplier for help– the damage has already been done and downtime is inevitable.
