Quality that lasts: Extended warranties for long-term reliability

Equipment reliability is non-negotiable for laboratory operations. Laboratory professionals understand that equipment failures create cascading consequences: delayed research, compromised samples, wasted reagents, and substantial opportunity costs. The traditional one-year warranty model has long been insufficient protection against these risks, particularly for critical infrastructure investments.

With Lauda, you now have five years of peace of mind. After a simple one-time online registration process, within three months of the initial delivery of a new Lauda device, an extensive warranty package is granted: the  Lauda 5-Year Best-Warranty.

The extended warranty firmly demonstrates supreme confidence in product engineering – manufacturers simply cannot afford to make such commitments without exceptional build quality and rigorous testing protocols. Moreover, it acknowledges the realistic lifecycle of laboratory equipment, recognising that precision instruments should deliver consistent performance well beyond the typical warranty period.

For laboratory managers and procurement specialists, extended warranties substantially alter the total cost of ownership equation. The immediate price premium for quality equipment becomes significantly more justifiable when weighed against five years of protected operation.

The laboratory industry benefits from manufacturers setting this example of extended quality assurance. Real commitment to quality means standing behind products for their realistic operational lifetime, not just during the minimal period required by law. As laboratories face increasing pressure to maximise uptime while minimising capital expenditures, those equipment manufacturers willing to share the risk through substantive warranties will naturally gain market advantage.

Advanced temperature control plays an increasingly critical role in cutting-edge research, particularly in biopharmaceuticals, material science, and renewable energy development. By removing the uncertainty of maintenance costs during the crucial first five years of equipment life, Lauda has created space for laboratories to focus on innovation rather than infrastructure concerns.

The message is clear: Lauda turns it up to the max with complete confidence in their technology’s enduring performance, so you can be on the safe side and focus on what’s actually important – your goals, your research, your results.
