Repair Service

If you need repair on an instrument, contact our Technical Support team with more details so they can evaluate the functionality of your instrument. After evaluation, a service quotation will be provided with current repair rates.

Loaner System

If the your system is in need of serious repair and you would like a system to fill the void of being without a system, you can request the use of a loaner system to offset the downtime. The use of a loaner system is dependent on system availability. If a loaner unit is available, the customer must agree to the model that is being offered. The loaner system will be sent out in a reusable crate, the damaged system will be place into the same crate and sent back to Azure Biosystems. Once the system is repaired, the same reusable crate shall be used to ship back the fixed system and the loaner system will be placed inside the crate and shipped back upon completion.

Installation

For instruments that require installation, installation options are available for on-site assistance, assembly, set-up, testing and training to ensure proper installation.

Installation Qualification/Operational Qualification (IQ OQ)

The IQ OQ validation package includes everything necessary to satisfy your validation requirements. An Azure Biosystems-trained representative will perform the IQ OQ using factory-designed protocols.

Equipment Relocation

Most of our instruments are easy to relocate and can easily be be done by yourself. If you have any questions about relocating, please email us at support@azurebiosystems.com with more details.

We bought the C600 a few years ago and use it mostly for imaging of Westerns. We are very happy with the capabilities of the system and the recommended reagents, although other reagents also work. I am most impressed with their service. We had some water damage in the lab and the instrument got soaked. Azure sales rep and technicians responded the same day and guided us through diagnostic procedures but in the end we had to ship the instrument back to Azure for service. They organized the shipping and provided a loaner, so we never were without instrument. Excellent service.
