Customers receive guaranteed 2 business day priority on-site response. In addition, Applied Biosystems engineers are required to provide a 4-hr phone response when dispatched to a service request. Scheduled Planned Maintenance - With the AB Assurance service plan, annual planned maintenance (PM) visit is automatically scheduled. This scheduled visit ensures optimal performance of your instrument, often preventing major breakdowns before they happen Spectral Dye Calibration during the PM - Performed during the planned maintenance visit. Calibration involves analysis of signal strength from standard pure dyes to adjust software for correct data output (for Real Time PCR Instruments only) Includes: a. Dyes, b. Certification documentation, c. Certificate of Calibration Labor & Travel Fees included - All labor and travel fees are included for repair and planned maintenance.   Replacement Parts covered at 100% - All parts are certified and guaranteed to optimize instruments performance and reliability. All parts are manufactured by AB or AB#s direct vendors. Applied Biosystems uses only new or true factory remanufactured parts.   Technical Assistance Center (TAC) is a service reserved for our contract and warranty customers. The service gives you direct access to senior level service personnel for first-level problem resolutions. This provides immediate response in resolving many operational and instrument set-up problems.  Remote Diagnostics is a service providing remote connectivity to your systems. This software, which is exclusive to Applied Biosystems, provides email notifications to both end users and our Technical Assistance Center of instrument conditions and errors. In doing so, it allows both your staff and Applied Biosystems to perform pre-emptive service in order to maintain instrument uptime, which leads to higher sample throughput. This service is reserved for our contract and warranty customers. Covered Computer Hardware - Applied Biosystems uses only business class computers built to our specifications by DELL. We specify what internal components to use and require DELL to supply us with spares until we exhaust the computers. This is very important since manufacturers need to write and test imaging software with the appropriate software drivers for all peripherals. Likewise, we require DELL to provide us with a full complement of spares. These spares are exclusive to our business class computers. In addition, under the terms of the Life Technologies service plan, we are required to maintain the computer. Applied Biosystems does not authorize any third-party service provider to perform maintenance and repair on Applied Biosystems instruments. Place of Performance: Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration of NY & NJ (VISN 3): Bronx, NY 10468
