Avantor’s proprietary software, unified operating procedures, and onsite lab and production support services mean we can put your research instrumentation into operation, ready whenever and wherever needed.

Avantor Offers Holistic Lab Productivity

For decades, we’ve maintained trusted partnerships with equipment manufacturers and service providers worldwide. That lets us install, maintain, calibrate, validate, and provide parts for almost any piece of lab equipment, on- and off-site.

Our accredited, ISO 17025-certified service centers, technicians, and service partners simplify equipment compliance across your multi-vendor equipment ecosystem with real-time reports from our cloud-based, proprietary Equipment Manager software.

We help you manage:

• Calibration
• Inventory
• Maintenance
• Repairs

Our Equipment Manager software tracks your equipment by serial number and manages maintenance, documentation, and warranties for all your service providers. The software also maintains a list of spare parts, consumables, images, operating procedures, and more.

These services, combined with our unified standard operating procedures—including our ISO 9001 Quality Management protocol—help you make the most of your lab’s productivity potential. 

Multi-Vendor Technical Services

Our technicians are trained to coordinate products from different manufacturers into an integrated laboratory infrastructure. That means we can be your only point of contact, even if your equipment came from multiple sources.

We can save you time with:

• Calibration
• Installation
• Preventative maintenance
• Relocation
• Repairs
• Validation
• Warranty management

We also help streamline:

• Administration. We handle administration from first contact to invoicing.
• Acquisition and decommissioning. Our software tracks the age and quality of your equipment, so it can be replaced as needed.
• Documentation. We automate calibration, maintenance, compliance tracking, and other services so you’ll always meet internal and external compliance standards.

Compliance Services

Avantor technicians can save you time by calibrating and validating your lab equipment and instruments against:

• Accreditation standards and regulatory requirements (ISO, GMP/GLP, FDA, etc.)
• Manufacturer specifications/standards
• Our specifications/standards

We also make sure your equipment meets three standards:

• Installation Qualification (IQ). We document and verify that your new equipment is compatible with your laboratory environment. We install that equipment according to manufacturer guidelines.
• Operational Qualification (OQ). We evaluate the functionality of your equipment against parameters provided by the manufacturer to ensure it operates correctly.
• Performance Qualification (PQ). We verify and document how well your equipment performs throughout all operating ranges.

Avantor’s accredited technicians work with your team to document all services from when your new equipment is delivered until it is decommissioned.
