Damaged Packaging, Defective on Arrival

Inspect the shipping container for signs of external damage and, after unpacking, inspect the device for any signs of mechanical damage that might have occurred during shipment.

If you suspect that the device may have been damaged during shipment, immediately notify the incoming carrier and Thermo Fisher Scientific about the damage. Shipping insurance will compensate for the damage only if reported immediately.

The device is too heavy or bulky for one person alone to handle safely. To avoid personal injury or damage to the device, observe the following guidelines:

  • Physical handling of the device, including lifting or moving, requires a team effort of two persons.
  • A team effort is in particular required when lifting the device into the system stack or when removing it.
