Making the Best Use of Lab Resources: The Economic Opportunity of the Connected Circular Economy
Keeping lab products and materials in use is one of the hardest things to accomplish for an R&D lab manager. Thankfully, scalable exchange models exist today, thanks to data connectivity and new technology. Implementing an internal exchange network enables products and materials to be better utilized and helps individual lab managers save money and effort. Similarly, implementing a cross-organizational exchange network helps to reduce hurdles like user provisioning, access control, time to disposal, and category- and location-based sharing restrictions for lab managers, EHS, procurement, and sustainability professionals. A massive economic opportunity awaits those who can take advantage of structured cycling of lab resources and consumables.

Increase Lab Productivity through Effective Equipment Maintenance & Management
Lab managers are continually faced with the challenges of rationalizing a roster of vendors servicing the equipment in the lab. A more efficient strategy is to designate a dedicated account manager—either remote or on-site, depending on the program—which designates one person to call, one person to rely on, one person to fix the problems, and one person to follow up with regarding repair and maintenance of the lab equipment. Renovo adopts an “It’s not our fault, but it’s our problem” philosophy that builds trust—if it’s not right, we’ll address it. You can go back to the other million things you need to do today.

Maximizing Asset Value at End-of-Life
Lab and facilities managers are faced with increasing challenges around their assets, including inventorying, monitoring and maintenance, and end-of-life decisions. Frequently, business changes dictate that facilities close or scale down to better serve the needs of the company. Once the decision has been made to close a facility or liquidate unneeded assets, consideration must be given to ensuring that asset value is maximized and that challenges such as tight timelines and reduced staff do not prevent a smooth transition. In order to meet these needs, BioSurplus has teamed with other leading companies in the industry to provide a more comprehensive solution throughout the equipment life cycle, so that facility and lab managers can focus on the needs of their scientists.
