Top 8 Signs That You Should Service or Replace Your HPLC System
![]() | ![]() | New applications require more modern, speedy, and sensitive methods. |
![]() | When any piece of hardware repeatedly suffers from the same malfunction. | |
![]() | If one is unable to obtain spare parts, then its replacement should be considered. | |
![]() | When any piece of hardware is beyond economical repair. | |
![]() | If the software is too inflexible to meet current requirements, then an alternative software package should be considered. | |
![]() | If an item of hardware of the HPLC system is not sufficiently flexible to cope with current or future requirements, then an alternative item of hardware should be considered. | |
![]() | If it is not possible to obtain customer support for that item. | |
![]() | An organization is standardizing the HPLC systems they use. |
Top 6 Questions That You Should Ask When Buying an HPLC Columns
![]() | How flexible is the system? Ask about whether the system can be optimized to meet your laboratory requirements. |
![]() | What tubes, vessels, vials can it accommodate? Can components (such as additional detectors, valves, etc.) be upgraded in the future? |
![]() | Is the software easy to use and operate? Can a demo version be put in place to get a feel for how the software functions for your laboratory’s workflow? |
![]() | How is the system (not just components) qualified during installation as to meeting manufacturer performance expectations? |
![]() | Who provides the support and service for the product? Is it the manufacturer or a third party service group? If it is a third party service group, are they factory-trained? |
![]() | Finally, ask about cost of the purchase; not just the price of the product being installed but the total cost of ownership, which includes price, service expectations, warranty, etc. |
