Scimedico LLC, based in West Orange, New Jersey, makes safety its top priority, offering services such as safety monitoring, hygiene solutions, and laboratory retrofits.


Retrofitting is the process of bringing older buildings up to current code standards. The process involves adding reinforcement or outfitting a space with new equipment to improve safety and add functionality to a building. In a laboratory setting, retrofitting may include replacing at-risk components or managing equipment nearing the end of support. Instead of replacing an entire system or equipment, lab managers may replace aging or outdated components with new parts and technology.


Retrofitting an outdated system can significantly reduce the danger of unanticipated downtime and, consequently, the need to outsource testing. In addition, this can prevent risks associated with outsourcing equipment, such as data inaccuracies, the unfamiliarity of operating the new equipment, and disruptive data records and test setups.


Additionally, retrofitting laboratory equipment allows users to integrate newer technology into an old system to enhance efficiency and performance. Doing this eliminates the need for operator training and specialization for new equipment and saves money. Retrofitting equipment also improves safety by reducing injury and accident risks associated with aging and faulty components.
