These machines are constantly in use throughout the day and if it were put out of action due to lack of maintenance or mechanical failure the ability of the investigators in the VRC to conduct their research would be severely handicapped. It is for this reason that a Service Agreement is essential.

Equipment is housed in a BSL-3 facility and as such equipment is routinely decontaminated and is decontaminated after spills, splashes, or other potential contamination and before repair, maintenance, or removal from the laboratory. In general, BSL-3 and BSL-4 laboratory areas are decontaminated by exposure to paraformaldehyde followed by ammonium bicarbonate neutralization. This process may shorten the normal lifespan of equipment and accessories. Extra-time and parts are expected, please quote accordingly.

*Note: A priority status is required for this service agreement and as priority status is only available with a direct contract with BD Biosciences, quotes submitted by third-party vendors must also include a direct contract with BD Biosciences to be considered.
