Lab Equipment Service

Keep your lab equipment running smoothly, safely and in full compliance with Ocon’s certified servicing, calibration and sourcing support.

What Is Lab Equipment Service?

Lab equipment service is simply the regular maintenance, calibration and sourcing support required to keep scientific instruments functional, accurate and compliant. For laboratories operating under GMP, GLP or ISO standards, having a reliable service partner is key.

We offer full-service support for lab equipment used in education, life science, manufacturing and research settings. Whether you’re managing a school science room or a pharmaceutical QC lab, we help you extend equipment life, avoid downtime and meet audit requirements.

Why Regular Servicing Matters

Unserviced equipment puts your results, reputation and regulatory status at risk. A single calibration drift or hardware fault can lead to inaccurate data, lost productivity and failed audits. Regular servicing:

• Extends the working life of your equipment
• Reduces downtime from unexpected failures
• Supports quality control and method validation
• Ensures traceability for ISO and GMP inspections

We work with lab managers and QA teams to build simple, cost-effective service plans that support operational stability, compliance and peace of mind all year round.

Our Laboratory Equipment Services

We offer three core services to support your laboratory equipment across its full lifecycle: maintenance, calibration and replacement sourcing.

Routine Maintenance & Repairs

Preventive maintenance helps your equipment run better for longer. Our team supports routine servicing through both in-house technicians and qualified partners.

Services include:

• Fault diagnosis and minor repairs
• Visual inspection and performance checks
• Cleaning, lubrication and seal replacement

We service equipment before it fails, helping you reduce risk and plan your budget predictably.

Calibration & Performance Checks

Collecting data you can rely on requires accurate instruments. We offer calibration and verification for a wide range of lab devices, including:

• Centrifuges and incubators
• Balances and weighing systems
• Pipettes (single and multichannel)
• Temperature-controlled systems (ovens, water baths)

We also issue calibration certificates with each service, complete with traceable reference standards to support your QA documentation.

Sourcing & Replacement Support

When repairs aren’t cost-effective, we help you source a suitable replacement. We offer:

• Expert advice on discontinued or obsolete models
• Support for urgent or planned equipment upgrades
• Access to leading brands including Domel, Scharlab and Eppendorf

Whether you need a one-off quote or full lab refit support, we make the process straightforward.

Equipment Types We Support

Our lab equipment service team works across a wide range of commonly used scientific instruments, ensuring they remain accurate, compliant and fit for purpose. This includes:

• Pipettes and liquid handling tools
• Laboratory centrifuges and incubators
• Ovens, water baths, hotplates and shakers
• Balances, scales and weighing systems
• Temperature probes, timers and bench devices

We support equipment used in secondary schools, university research labs, medtech production lines and pharmaceutical QA environments, helping you meet regulatory standards and avoid disruption. Whether you need one-off servicing or ongoing maintenance, our team delivers reliable support tailored to your lab’s setup, workload and critical requirements.

Compliance & Certification

Our servicing work follows ISO 9001 certified processes. We document all service, calibration and replacement support to help you maintain compliance with:

• Internal SOPs and audit trails
• ISO and EN standards
• GMP and GLP guidelines

For equipment exposed to chemicals or hazardous materials, our DGSA keeps all handling and transport ADR-compliant. We also offer Change Control notification for GMP-relevant systems on request.
