Constant Systems October Service Highlights: Supporting Cutting-Edge Research Across the UK
As October rolls in and the leaves turn golden, Mark Partoon, our dedicated Service Engineer, has been hard at work, keeping our clients’ equipment meticulously maintained and calibrated. His journey this month has taken him across some of the UK’s leading research hubs, including Cambridge, York, London, Oxford, and Leicester. Each stop underscored our commitment to supporting the essential work our clients do in fields from cancer research to genetic sequencing. Here’s a recap of the facilities Mark visited and the services he provided, helping ensure that their machinery is in tip-top condition to support groundbreaking research.
Cambridge: Charles River
Starting in Cambridge, Mark visited the Charles River facility, a leader in early-stage contract research. Charles River’s team conducts preclinical testing that drives forward drug development for a healthier world. With Mark’s regular maintenance and calibration, their Constant Systems equipment is primed for the high throughput demands of this vital work.
York: University of York
In York, Mark arrived at the University of York’s research facilities, which house world-renowned scientists advancing molecular biology and biochemistry. Our equipment plays a pivotal role here, supporting complex biological experiments. After a thorough maintenance session, our machines were ready for the rigorous experiments to come, ensuring reliability and accuracy for researchers pushing scientific boundaries.
Harlow: Charles River
Mark’s next stop was at Charles River’s Harlow site, another significant center for drug development and safety testing. Here, Mark went through a checklist of preventive maintenance tasks to ensure that every piece of Constant Systems equipment remains in optimal shape, helping scientists work without disruptions and maintain strict data accuracy.
London: Imperial College and Kings College London, Cancer Research UK at the Francis Crick Institute
In the heart of London, Mark visited multiple prestigious institutions:
- Imperial College London (White City & Kensington campuses): Known for its excellence in science and engineering, Imperial College’s labs rely on our equipment for cutting-edge biochemical research. Mark’s meticulous servicing sessions at both campuses guaranteed that each system runs flawlessly, supporting Imperial’s critical scientific contributions.
- King’s College London: King’s research facilities are renowned for their contributions to biomedical sciences. Ensuring that the machines are finely tuned helps their researchers work with confidence and precision.
- Cancer Research UK at the Francis Crick Institute: At one of the world’s leading biomedical research centers, Constant Systems equipment is instrumental in cancer research. Mark took special care to calibrate and optimize these systems, knowing how important they are in advancing therapies for cancer patients.
Oxford: Oxford Nanopore
The Oxford Nanopore team, a global leader in DNA sequencing, relies heavily on equipment that’s as precise as it is powerful. Mark’s servicing visit ensured that their machinery remains accurate and efficient for the demanding task of genome sequencing, which is instrumental in fields ranging from personalized medicine to food safety.
Leicester: University of Leicester
Mark wrapped up October’s service tour at the University of Leicester, where research spans environmental science, health sciences, and more. Maintaining the equipment here means supporting a wide range of interdisciplinary research, each requiring high performance and reliability.
