How does it work?

American Instrument Exchange is available to repair a wide variety of equipment in our fully stocked facility. We can schedule and coordinate pick up and transportation of your malfunctioning equipment to our shop.

With hourly rates lower than most OEM service providers and no travel time for service representatives, repair costs can be reduced. Additionally, our lab depot repair service reduces or sometimes eliminates scheduling-related delays. Our depot repair facilities are staffed by service technicians who are qualified and experienced and can restore your equipment’s performance to factory specifications.

After receiving the instrument our trained technicians will evaluate the machine and send a report detailing diagnosis, repair options, and anticipated costs. Preliminary triage testing is carried out by our skilled technicians in order to identify the reported issue as well as any additional flaws.

If possible, OEM parts are used to replace of any defective parts that are found to be underperforming. If we can’t find OEM parts, alternatives will be sourced.

Once repairs are complete, we fully test the instrument using calibrated recorders to verify proper function, making sure all controls and readouts are accurate and that the equipment works to specification.

We then arrange for or coordinate the return of your equipment in the safest manor possible to ensure that it works as promised. All repair work is fully covered by our 90-day warranty.

One piece of equipment going down can cause a huge impact on your lab’s productivity. Unless you have in-house technicians with experience, your lab may be most efficient and cost-effectively repaired by using a depot repair service.

Why should you outsource your repair work to depot service?

The majority of the time, no one on the lab staff will have the technical or mechanical expertise necessary to successfully carry out equipment maintenance and repair. They may, at best, have a lot of user experience and be able to perform routine maintenance, calibrate the instrument, and make minor repairs. However, when problems arise that go beyond their capabilities or the problems necessitate special tools, it’s time to call a professional. The only way to guarantee a high-quality and effective repair would then be to hire a specialized service company.

Depot repair businesses will be able to fix equipment better and more quickly than lab staff unless an organization is large enough to justify employing a full-time specialist in equipment maintenance and repair. Even if a repair isn’t technically complicated, it might still take too long to do internally. For instance, conventional approaches can take an excessive amount of time to locate a pinhole leak in the vacuum system of a freeze dryer. The expertise and specialized equipment of third-party repair companies will speed up the troubleshooting and repair procedures.

Aside from the additional downtime, delegating the repair to an unqualified employee may exacerbate the issue. The employee may accidentally aggravate the issue or damage other process components if they lack the necessary expertise. As a result, in addition to paying for the initial issue, the lab must also cover the additional downtime caused by the new issues.

Not only are depot service providers much less likely to exacerbate the issue, but they will also be able to remedy their mistakes, if they do.

Depot service vs. field service

Here are a few scenarios where using a depot repair service is better than going with the original equipment manufacturer:

  • Your equipment’s warranty is expired or invalidated
  • OEM service calls include pricey travel time
  • Your equipment is no longer supported by the OEM because it’s a few generations old
  • It can take a long time to get an OEM service technician to your lab, leading to longer downtime

Utilizing American Instrument Exchange’s depot repair service can provide faster turnaround times and easier scheduling.

More efficient scheduling

Having a single point of contact for all events related to service can save you a lot of time and money because you won’t have to coordinate scheduling with multiple companies. OEM’s often have local independent service providers come in and do the repair work. Doing so requires multiple steps in scheduling, leading to increased wait time, which leads to decreased production.

Considerations for choosing a depot repair service:

Reputation – Pay close attention to the testimonials on the company’s website and Google reviews. If the majority of reviews are favorable and there are no recurrent complaints, the business is probably a good choice.

Expertise – Make sure the service provider you’re thinking about hiring specializes in the equipment you need fixed. Among the broader selection of supported products, some service providers specialize in repairing equipment in particular categories.

Affordability – If the company is far away, you might have to pay more for an on-site service call. Your instrument’s downtime will also increase as a result of the travel time, costing you more money and delays.

Why should you choose American Instrument Exchange?

American Instrument Exchange’s depot repair service is a great fit for equipment that has been in storage for an extended period of time, inoperable, or simply “shelved” for years.  We check all the boxes when it comes to what you should want and expect in a depot repair service.

The depot repairs provided by American Instrument Exchange save you time, space, and, most importantly, money. Send us your used or out of warranty equipment and we will get you up and running quickly and affordably.

For decades Beckman has consistently manufactured some of the best centrifuges on the market. So when we got our hands on the Beckman Optima MAX-XP we were very excited to give it a try.

The first thing we noticed is that this centrifuge is quiet, with half as much sound as other tabletop ultras and significantly less dBs than floor model options. Even at runs up to 150,000rpm the volume was unexpectedly low. The full-color touchscreen is easy to read and has remote monitoring and control features.

Beckman Optima MAX-XP

Bells and whistles aside, the Optima MAX-XP is ideal for applications requiring high speed and g-forces with volume flexibility, like viral vector gene delivery and nanoparticle applications and also meets the needs of traditional laboratory applications, including separation of subcellular particles and protein purification and isolation. It’s fully compatible with a complete library of fixed-angle, swinging-bucket and unique near-vertical-tube (NVT) tabletop rotors. In short, this is a power-packed solution that delivers fast, efficient separations from samples as small as 175 μL up to 32.4 ml and at speeds of up to 150,000 RPM and more than 1,000,000 x g.

Security features include rotor identification by serial number as well as password protection and electronic signatures help you maintain chain of custody and compliance. The Optima MAX-XP’s rotors and its labware are designed, manufactured and tested as an integrated system for optimal performance and safety. The advanced software supports rigorous electronic recordkeeping with password-controlled access and audit trail documentation. The system monitors and records individual user and run data, rotor logs and more. Also features real-time speeds, time and temperature, and a customizable user interface for up to 12 persons. Plus, access to an array of language, including French, Spanish, Japanese, simplified Chinese and more.

So if you’re in the market for a tabletop ultracentrifuge please give us a call or email about the Beckman MAX-XP. Thanks!

Caron 7403 incubator with Wheaton 5-tier rolling apparatus

Caron cell roller-ready CO2 incubators are ideal for scale-up production of monolayer cell cultures and other large-scale cell culture applications with roller apparatus. This reach-in CO2 incubator is designed specifically for use with cell roller apparatus and is supplied with an easy-to-use ramp for roller installation. Warm rooms are commonly used to perform cell production runs with roller bottles, however, these basic rooms limit production output mainly due to lack of control of pH. Caron’s  application-specific design provides precise and evenly distributed temperature and CO2 so production capacity is maximized. Our incubators have an ergonomic design and take up a minimal footprint, making them well suited for many laboratory and production facility scenarios. Click here for more details.
