Legal Justification
The two Tecan Freedom Evo liquid handling robots are complex pieces of equipment that need in-depth knowledge of the system and uninterrupted access to parts should these be necessary. The robots were originally bought from Tecan back in 2015 and Tecan has been providing the maintenance services ever since. There would be disproportionate technical difficulties in a third party maintaining our instruments, as they would have to source spares via Tecan, adding cost and delay to the support package 48-hour response time. Any OEM warranty with Tecan might also be invalidated, so Tecan is the only viable and practical supplier of these services.
