Service.

Preventive maintenance ensures that your laboratory equipment undergoes routine checks and servicing. At Don Whitley Scientific (DWS), we believe this is an essential part of keeping your equipment running efficiently and avoiding potential issues and unnecessary costs. That’s why we offer UK customers comprehensive maintenance and repair contracts on a variety of equipment, including:

Here is our schedule of service packages to choose from: 

DWS engineers are dedicated to providing the best possible service. In almost all cases, we carry out repairs on site and when this isn’t possible, we can usually install loan units to minimise customer downtime whilst repairs are carried out at our premises. With some of our newer equipment, we can connect remotely to check for error messages and make necessary adjustments.

We are not limited to only repairing DWS equipment but also the equipment we sell on behalf of other companies, including ABE, Tuttnauer, Copan, Ebers Medical and Synoptics. Our engineers have been trained by our distributors, meaning they have received the highest standard of product knowledge. Equally, our engineers receive regular training on DWS products to ensure they’re always up to date with any amendments.

To summarise, preventive maintenance offers a wide range of benefits. It helps equipment run efficiently, extending its lifespan and saving you money by avoiding the need for replacements. It reduces costs and downtime by preventing sudden breakdowns that can lead to expensive delays and unhappy customers. It creates a safer work environment by identifying and addressing potential risks through routine checks. And finally, preventive maintenance enhances the overall reliability of equipment and increases productivity by ensuring everything is in good condition.
