Effective lab asset management makes your work life easier.

Managing a lab's assets can be overwhelming, as lab managers juggle contract management, instrument servicing, procurement and equipment qualification, among other critical tasks. Having a dedicated team of experts can be invaluable.

At CBRE, we provide a comprehensive system to help lab managers, directors and technicians maintain a clear overview of all lab assets. With many of our engineers and sales team members having backgrounds as chemists, OEM engineers and lab managers, we genuinely understand the complexities of running a high-functioning laboratory. That's why we offer a single-point solution for all your laboratory needs, ensuring seamless operations.

Lab Asset Management Solutions

CBRE has been creating custom service contracts for lab instruments for decades. We collaborate closely with your team to develop strategies for both critical and non-critical assets. A key step in this process is conducting a comprehensive assessment of all lab assets, including details like model and serial numbers, PM and qualification schedules and current service contract vendors. This information is stored in our Asset Management Database, enabling us to design a thorough solution with clear visibility into schedules, pricing and instrument locations.

Maintaining a large fleet of instruments can be challenging, especially when each piece of equipment has a unique service contract with different vendors, leading to increased organizational responsibilities. CBRE provides the infrastructure to simplify this process. We utilize enterprise-level software, transparent reporting, effective communication and expert advisors to create a streamlined system that supports smooth lab operations.

For critical instrumentation, a comprehensive service plan should cover scheduled PM visits, parts and labor for any necessary repairs. Our lab asset management services prevent unexpected repair costs from disrupting your budget by thoroughly understanding your organization. We develop classification systems for your instrumentation to create custom contract solutions for each asset. While ensuring your equipment receives proper care is essential, we also aim to enhance lab efficiency, allowing you to focus on the quality of your lab’s output.

Lab relocations can arise from various factors, such as lease expirations, building sales or the need for additional space to support growth. Regardless of the reason, one constant remains: a lab relocation disrupts operations. A move will inherently halt some activities, but with CBRE's comprehensive planning and execution, it is possible to minimize downtime significantly.

Scientific equipment qualification must occur regularly throughout an instrument's life, with some highly regulated industries requiring more frequent and detailed reporting to maintain compliance. Even minor output data errors can have serious consequences. CBRE offers professional IQ/OQ/PQ services as part of our lab asset management solutions or on an as-needed, billable basis. Over the years, we've built strong relationships with lab managers and understand their significant responsibilities, with the quality of science always being paramount. By partnering with CBRE, you can access a dedicated team of chemists, engineers and advisors to support your lab's assets.
