GE Healthcare announced the expansion of its Scientific Asset Service program to incorporate options for instrument financing, facility relocation, and GE’s Performance Solutions, alongside multi-vendor instrument maintenance and repair. These additional services have been included in response to an increasing trend towards outsourcing in the biotech and pharma industries, and will provide comprehensive support for customers through the entire lifecycle of their assets, the company says.

The new financing solutions offering allows customers to lease single instruments or to finance entire laboratories. Customers can also obtain loans to purchase equipment or free up capital by entering into sale and leaseback arrangements.

GE Healthcare's Performance Solutions brings the company’s renowned Six Sigma and LEAN approaches to biopharmaceutical companies, helping to optimize their processes, thereby enhancing cost-effectiveness and efficiency. GE Healthcare has extensive experience using these tools in a wide range of industries, from hospitals to aircraft maintenance, where the desire for operational quality, speed and excellence is key. 

"GE Healthcare is leveraging its reach to offer an unparalleled array of services to laboratories through one provider," commented Bob Moore, Services Commercial Leader at GE Healthcare Life Sciences.
 
GE Healthcare has over ten years' experience in multi-vendor asset management. Through its SAS programs, GE enables customers to improve inventory accuracy and gain extensive insight into their laboratory assets through the use of its proprietary software, AssetPlus.
