All of the above pieces of equipment are sold and serviced by PerkinElmer. PerkinElmer has proprietary rights to the Janus and Victor systems and is therefore the only source that is qualified to provide technical support of the instruments and supply the parts needed for continued support of these systems. PerkinElmer factory trains their engineers and do not train any outside sources on their equipment. Perkin Elmer does not distribute non-consumable parts or service to 3rd parties making it impossible for any other source to perform repairs and maintenance for continued support of this system. Consumable parts include syringes, valves, tips, etc. which are part of the general day to day operation of the instrument and user changeable. Non-consumable parts include pumps, circuit boards, etc. Perkin Elmer instrument specialist informed the CGL that they will not distribute non-consumable parts or service to 3rd parties. Due to this information no other sources exist that can supply repairs and preventative maintenance. For more information contact Tina Baker at 907-786-3341 or
