Is Phase Technology preventive or scheduled maintenance service the same as general, routine
maintenance?
No, routine maintenance consists of procedures that are a part of good laboratory practices. These include
cleaning the test chamber, sample cup and optic lens. Replacing desiccant and performing certain
diagnostic tests are also part of routine maintenance.
Phase Technology preventive maintenance service goes beyond regular cleaning and consumables
replacement with performance checks and inspection of internal components to prevent potential
problems before they develop.
What are the benefits of having on-site or service center preventive maintenance?
Preventive maintenance ensures that your analyzer is running optimally and helps identify possible
problems before they cause bottlenecks in workflow:
• assurance that results are consistent and repeatable
• increased production yields
• reduced test errors and analyzer stoppage
How often should a scheduled preventive maintenance be performed?
Phase Technology recommends On-Site Preventive Maintenance or Service Center Scheduled Maintenance
be performed annually. For labs with heavier analyzer use, a more frequent interval may be beneficial.
