Introducing the Lab-Forward Trade-Up Program for Automated Sample Preparation

Trading up your current sample preparation system or device has never been faster or easier. You can trade a separatory funnel, manual vacuum manifold, a Thermo Fisher Scientific instrument, or an instrument from another manufacturer for valuable credit toward a new Thermo Scientific EXTREVA ASE Accelerated Solvent Extractor, Dionex AutoTrace 280 or AutoTrace 280 PFAS solid-phase extraction instrument. We even have flexible financing options to reduce the impact on your budget. The Lab-Forward Trade-Up Program is our way of helping you keep up with the speed of science.


Why trade up to a new sample preparation instrument?

You know the ins and outs of your lab’s workflow better than anyone else. More than likely, you have a running list of bottlenecks in your existing sample preparation workflow that you would like to improve. Perhaps you already know the way to accelerate your work is to upgrade to an automated sample preparation instrument. However, making that leap can seem like an enormous commitment. And yet, for every reason you may have to hang on to your current processes, there is a list of reasons to trade up to the latest we have to offer. The following is just a glimpse of the benefits you can expect.

  • Take full advantage of the efficiency automation brings to sample preparation
  • Greater accuracy, reproducibility, and improved recoveries
  • Significant reduction in risk of PFAS background contamination
  • Lowers incidents of errors, rerunning and resampling
  • Simplified operation that reduces training costs and saves time
  • Guaranteed access to the service, support, and parts you need

Time and freedom to tackle other challenges

In today’s busy labs, everyone needs to do more with less. As daily tasks grow, so does your need to prioritize. All too often, urgent demands like sample preparation take priority over important strategic work, which is forced to take a backseat. Even worse, some tasks may get rushed, leading to errors and the need to rerun batches or even resample. Truth is: Preparing sample preparation samples manually is very time consuming. Now you can recapture the time with a new sample preparation instrument.

The value of your current sample preparation system will be evaluated by trained Thermo Fisher Scientific personnel based on type of instrument, age and condition. We’ll ask you some questions on the history of your system in order to provide an accurate estimate on its value towards a new sample preparation system.

You can trade in a manual vacuum manifold, separation funnel, a Thermo Fisher Scientific instrument, or an instrument from another manufacturer for valuable credit toward a new Dionex AutoTrace 280 or AutoTrace 280 PFAS SPE instrument, or EXTREVA ASE Accelerated Solvent Extractor.

We are no longer removing used systems for the lab as part of the program. Your system will be used to determine eligibility and the credit value toward your new instrument purchase. You can then keep or dispose of your used system at your discretion.

We have your back on method transfer and training with specialized staff who can give you a helping hand. Do not hesitate to reach out to your local sales contact for details.

These promotions are available to customers in Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the USA, and unless otherwise stated on each product page. Other restrictions may apply.
