Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced Unity Lab Services, a new offering that combines product and lab support services for customers aimed at optimizing productivity and reducing the total cost of lab operations.

Unity Lab Services incorporate capabilities from traditional lab instrument and equipment services to enterprise-level support, including business analytics, management of lab staffing, and consumables inventory. These services are available for a range of lab environments and, according to the company, can be scaled from service on a single instrument to a highly customized, comprehensive service program at the lab, site or enterprise level.

“In today’s business climate our customers are looking for additional ways to increase productivity and reduce costs, and we’ve demonstrated that our integrated services management program can have a dramatic impact on both,” said Marc N. Casper, president and chief executive officer of Thermo Fisher Scientific. “This progression to a single solution for all the services required to operate a laboratory is a model that supports innovation and generates greater efficiencies for our customers.”
