Thermo Electron Corporation, world leader in analytical instrumentation was recently awarded the NorthFace ScoreBoard Award, for a second consecutive year, in recognition for providing Excellence in Customer Service to its customers. The award presented to Thermo included two categories: Installation Service Representative and Field Service Engineer. The award program, now in its fifth year, rewards organizations that consistently exceed customer expectations and who offer exemplary service to their customers. Omega Management Group, an independent quality auditing firm, judged more than 200 projects from over 50 companies based in the U.S. and abroad in 2005. Each of the award recipients qualified by measuring their customer satisfaction levels at least twice during the year in such categories as technical support, field service, sales process, account management and training. The award recipients are those who, based on survey responses from their own customer base, achieved a 4.0 or above out of a possible 5.0 score in any category measured.
Paul Harris, quality manager for Thermo?s scientific instruments division, comments, ?We completely understand the importance of offering exceptional customer service. By continually developing our exceptionally talented engineers along with monitoring our customer feedback and satisfaction levels, we are able to ensure that our customers are receiving the highest quality of service possible.?
With a history spanning 50 years, Thermo offers a broad array of products and services that are backed by one of the largest and most knowledgeable service organizations in the instrument industry. Although the portfolio is extremely diverse, Thermo?s engineers continue to remain specialized in specific products, and are required to prove their expertise by passing strict certification levels for each product they intend to support. This stringent certification program provides a progressive training channel for engineers to demonstrate and prove skill standards through structured classroom instruction, practical laboratory experience, and on-site mentoring. Recognition of Thermo?s service has been due largely to the highly knowledgeable team of 1,200-plus certified Thermo engineers who serve more than 125 countries, and who are dedicated to helping customers improve productivity, quality and profitability.
Sustainable Green Solvents in Microextraction: A Review of Recent Advancements
March 27th 2024Conventional sample preparation can be time- and resource-consuming, and a green analytical methodology can be a game-changer for scientists, in addition to facilitating selective and sensitive separations.
Transferring Methods to Compact and Portable HPLC
February 14th 2024The current trend in laboratory equipment design is the miniaturization of laboratory instruments. Smaller-scale HPLC instruments offer benefits that cannot be matched by analytical-scale equipment, especially in the areas of portability, reduced fluid volumes, and reduced operating costs. Yet, the miniaturization of laboratory equipment has brought with it a unique set of challenges, including transferring methods to compact LC. Capillary LC expands the use of LC to applications not currently done using conventional LC in a wide array of application areas, including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, petrochemical, environmental, and oil and gas. Greg Ward, Axcend’s CEO wrote, “Customers want an HPLC system with a small footprint, low flow rates and green chemistry.” Join his podcast where he shares method transfer in these application areas.
High-Throughput Analysis of Volatile Compounds in Air, Water, and Soil Using SIFT-MS (Apr 2024)
March 27th 2024This study demonstrates high-throughput analysis of BTEX compounds from several matrices (air, water and soil). Detection limits in the single-digit part-per-billion concentration range (by volume) are readily achievable within seconds using SIFT-MS, because sample analysis is achieved without chromatography, pre-concentration, or drying. We also present a calibration approach that enables speciation of ethylbenzene from the xylenes in real time.
