AB Sciex provides priority response time of 2 business days, priority telephone and email access to instrument technical support, telephone and email access to application technical support, and smart services remote monitoring. As a result, AB Sciex is uniquely qualified to satisfy the Government's minimum requirement for on-site annual preventative maintenance and remedial repair service.
