Laboratories are inherently energy and resource intensive. Whether it is analytical instrumentation, cold storage units, heating, cooling ventilation, computers or technology, operating lab equipment incurs significant costs for organisations.

Lab equipment and instruments are necessary for performing important scientific research– but they also leave behind a heavy carbon footprint that contributes to a number of adverse environmental effects such as:
With proper servicing and calibration, a piece of lab equipment can actually outlast its intended purpose and can be reused on future projects.
By investing in a proper service plan, labs can future proof valuable assets by protecting the life cycle of equipment. Furthermore, a comprehensive service approach allows labs to offset their environmental footprint and better meet their sustainability targets.
Through Thermo Fisher Scientific’s services and support team, labs can improve their sustainability approach by planning for regular equipment maintenance, and ensuring instruments are properly calibrated throughout the year.
Whether you have traditionally relied on third-party engineering services, or you simply don’t have the in-house expertise, Thermo Fisher Scientific designs, builds, and tests systems to help extend the life of your equipment and instruments.
With more than 40 years of experience fine tuning lab services and support programs, Thermo Fisher Scientific has created an unparalleled offering that combines remote tools, on-site and off-site support, and OEM expertise.

The benefits of investing in a service plan are two-fold, contributing to both business and environmental goals.
Equipment that is well maintained consumes less energy and generates fewer emissions, which helps businesses to better achieve their sustainability targets.
Ensuring regular and scheduled maintenance for all equipment and instruments can improve business outcomes by requiring fewer breakdown service calls and reducing costs on replacements and spare parts.
Understanding the importance of environmentally responsible asset management is an important part of managing a lab.
Environmentally responsible asset management can improve a businesses’ reputation by demonstrating ownership and accountability when it comes to reducing its environmental footprint.
For a practical approach to sustainability, entrust your equipment maintenance and instrument calibration service requirements to Thermo Fisher Scientific’s expert team of asset management specialists.
As part of our "Sustainability in the Lab" program at Thermo Fisher Scientific, we have determined that inventory management is an important part of conserving precious resources and reducing a lab’s overall environmental impact.
To help labs streamline their supply and fulfilment processes, Thermo Fisher Scientific has designed, built, and tested a range of inventory management solutions to ensure that procurement officers and operations managers can manage and control their stock.
Our Supply Center solution provides on-demand access to supplies on-site. In addition to streamlining supplies and simplifying procurement processes, hosting a Thermo Fisher Scientific Supply Center can help make your lab more environmentally friendly.
Through consolidated restocking shipments, you can reduce packaging waste. Plus, our convenient online catalogue allows you to easily find and select greener product alternatives.
