Preventive maintenance supports performance and uptime

Preventive maintenance (PM) programs for your Biacore system support your research outcomes. Routine maintenance reduces equipment breakdown and the need for costly repairs.

Scheduled maintenance tunes your instrument to meet your goals in quality, speed, accuracy, and productivity.

Recommended interval
Our standard recommended PM frequency is two visits per year if:
- Instrument usage is high

- Instrument is used in a multi-user environment
Note: Parts replaced during PM may vary from model to model. If your Biacore system is not covered by a service agreement, any part replaced other than a wear part will incur additional charges.
