  • REMI vs OEM for Service Contracts

    Hello,

    Has anyone had direct (or indirect) experience with REMI as a service provider for sequencing instrumentation? Was the experience positive or negative?

    Thanks,
    CH

      A key question is-- does REMI reimburse the reagents on failed runs or just fix the equipment? Illumina, for example, incurs a significant cost by sending in new reagent packs when a run fails. I would also be very careful if they require a manufacturer's visit to set the rate. What does that cost for Illumina/Roche/etc to do that and who pays? I would get someone versed in reading contracts to look over theirs.

        They are a third party insurance broker who provide service for instrumentation (like sequencers), etc. They have won the State of Ohio contract - they offer a 27% discount relative to our current OEM provider (ABI). However, I've heard some less than positive feedback about how they manage and handle repair requests.

        I was wondering if anyone has heard or dealt with them previously.

        Thanks,

          They do not reimburse for reagents for failed runs, nor for reagents used during normal PM servicing, nor for any part, consumable, or equipment that is directly associated with a "wetted surface".

            Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
            by seqadmin


            Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
