<p>Have you ever installed new lab instruments or applications which didn’t quite deliver the results you expected? Ensuring your hardware and software are fit for purpose is critical to obtaining scientific value. Consequently, Field Application Scientists (FASs) play a fundamental role in ensuring you get the most out of your instrument outputs and workflows. But how so? And why do you need a FAS to be an extension of your team?</p> <ul> <li>Field Application Scientists first and foremost provide scientific advice and assist laboratory teams in the installation of instruments and design of scientific applications. </li> <li>Primarily, FASs will be involved in the very early interactions of the purchasing process with a lab service provider. The FAS will want to understand what you are trying to achieve scientifically so they can provide tailored recommendations to help you achieve your research goals. </li> <li>Ultimately, scientific success will be achieved through the design of the application, instrumentation and analysis. Therefore, the more information you can share about your goals up front, the more customized your recommendations will be.</li> <li>As part of the purchasing process, the FAS will be responsible for pre-demonstrations which allow you to jointly create a customized plan for your demo in order to get an accurate preview of how products will improve your laboratory’s workflows. </li> <li>Following this, the FAS, alongside an engineer, will carry out the installation and validation of the instrumentation on site and provide the appropriate training to your team on usage. This ensures that all potential end users have the opportunity to gain experience with the instrument and application using their own samples, with the FAS on hand to provide guidance. </li> <li>The FAS will work with you to prepare protocols that suit your needs for your specific application. They will also analyze the procedures and provide recommendations on how to design protocols to ensure the optimal level of usage. </li> <li>Perhaps the most important part of the FASs job is to build strong working relationships with customers. They strive to enhance customer experience and create an effective evaluation loop, allowing customers the opportunity to share comments and feedback about products and services.</li> </ul></span></div> </div><!--end widget-span --> </div><!--end row--> </div><!--end row-wrapper --> </div><!--end widget-span --> </div><!--end row--> </div><!--end row-wrapper --> <div class="row-fluid-wrapper row-depth-1 row-number-5 main_area-row-2-max-width-section-centering main_area-row-2-padding dnd-section"> <div class="row-fluid "> <div class="span12 widget-span widget-type-custom_widget dnd-module" style="" data-widget-type="custom_widget" data-x="0" data-w="12"> <style> .beneifit-inner-title::after { content: none !important; } </style> <!--Beneifit Module--> <div class="beneifit-module-block" id="benefit-module-block"> <div class="container bullet-list-points"> <div class="beneifit-inner"> <div class="beneifit-spec-tab"> <ul class="nav nav-tabs"> <li><a class="active" data-toggle="tab" href="#tabCnt1">Add value alongside engineers</a></li> <li><a data-toggle="tab" href="#tabCnt2">Bridge the gap between sales and science</a></li> <li><a data-toggle="tab" href="#tabCnt3">Scientific knowledge from all over the world</a></li> <li><a data-toggle="tab" href="#tabCnt4">Trusted friend and voice of the customer</a></li> <li><a data-toggle="tab" href="#tabCnt5">Improving efficiency and reducing costs</a></li> </ul> <div class="tab-content"> <div id="tabCnt1" class="tab-pane in active "> <p>There is often confusion over the responsibilities of the FAS team and engineers. However, it’s important to note that they do in fact play different roles.

Without their technical support, lab teams would struggle to achieve optimal usage of instruments. They will ensure the set up of the machine you have purchased is configured correctly and will be on hand on a future basis to provide assistance.</p> <p>The FAS, on the other hand, will ensure that the protocols for the application you collectively devise with the lab service provider, are designed with science in mind.</p> <p>FASs will often be PhD-level scientists, specializing in certain areas ranging from genomics to structural biology. The breadth of a FAS team’s training and expertise is a fantastic benefit as it gives you confidence to pursue innovative ideas.</p> <p>The advantages of having both an engineer and FAS working together is that they can look at the same scenario from different perspectives—an engineering perspective and a scientific perspective. As a result, they can find solutions to problems quickly, with limited interruption.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div id="tabCnt2" class="tab-pane in "> <p>Typically, the FAS will work with you in the sales process to understand what you aim to achieve from a scientific standpoint. This enables them to recommend instruments and applications that will be fit for purpose. As the FAS has quite often previously worked at the bench themselves, they are well positioned to provide added scientific value, in addition to the assistance given by dedicated Sales Managers. <br><br>This ensures that science flows through every aspect of your interactions with potential providers to guarantee that applications are up to scientific standards.</p> <p> </p> </div> <div id="tabCnt3" class="tab-pane in "> <p>One of the common questions we are asked at SPT Labtech is ‘Who in the industry is innovating with your products and applications?’<br><br>Both in academic research and industry, it’s common for word of mouth and scientific credibility to influence your actions when you want to test novel methods. <br><img src="https://www.sptlabtech.com/hubfs/Website/15%20-%20FAS/fas-discussing-instrument.jpg" alt="fas-discussing-instrument" width="40%" loading="lazy" style="width: 40%; margin: 25px auto; display: block;"><br>Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of having access to a FAS is that they act as a real life use case. They work with hundreds of companies, instruments, applications and they see how other scientists are pushing the boundaries when it comes to scientific innovation. They are constantly learning and adding new methods to their scientific repertoire. <br><br>For instance, in the field of single cell genomics, a fast-paced area of science which publishes new and improved methods at a rapid rate, the FAS can provide knowledge transfer on how single cell labs can install and use instruments that have the necessary flexibility to adapt to change, as well as establish and customize miniaturized protocols of choice. In this regard, the FAS can contribute reputable guidance and direction on how you can innovate. They can also act as a practical sounding board, should you want to test a theory.</p> </div> <div id="tabCnt4" class="tab-pane in "> <p>Our FAS are masters of troubleshooting. If you have a problem, chances are they have experienced said problem before. As a result, they will likely have the necessary understanding to rectify the issue quickly and with limited negative impact on the day to day running of your lab’s activities.<br><br>The FAS's responsibility is to guarantee the applications you are using are fit for purpose. In order to do this, they decipher the bottlenecks and obstacles you may be experiencing by actively listening and remaining flexible in their approach. This means you should never hesitate to call on them when you need a shoulder to cry on! <br><br>The FAS role is one of collaboration. They communicate with numerous departments within a lab service organization and supporting the sales team is just one of those areas, as mentioned above. The FASs also build effective relationships and obtain valuable, first-hand feedback from customers so they can report back to research and development teams with common trends.</p> </div> <div id="tabCnt5" class="tab-pane in "> <p>FASs will undoubtedly have efficiency in mind when it comes to implementing an application for use on lab instruments. The FAS will provide practical expertise on how to minimize costs, eliminate laborious processes, enhance data quality and preserve sample integrity, all with the intention of boosting efficiency.</p> <p><img src="https://www.sptlabtech.com/hubfs/Website/15%20-%20FAS/fas-benefits-instrument-close-up.jpg" alt="fas-benefits-instrument-close-up" width="100%" loading="lazy" style="width: 100%; margin: 25px 0px;"><br><br>Take for example, liquid handling applications for genomics. In an environment where the protection of samples is of the utmost importance, the FAS will help you define and implement the protocol for the application so that the loss of samples is reduced, exposure to the air is decreased and cross contamination with other reagents is avoided. In a lab where there is a high turnaround of samples, this is fundamental to increasing efficiency and thus reducing costs. <br><br>The FAS will also put processes in place to secure these efficiencies and cost reductions, enabling you to measure impact and return on investment. Furthermore, the FAS can often find a novel use for an instrument, for purposes other than its intended use, to expand utility further. In one instance at SPT Labtech, one customer was using the dragonfly crystal screen optimizer and in partnership with the FAS developed assays for mass spectrometry on the same instrument, enabling the customer to achieve their goals with a piece of equipment they already had.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <!--Product Spec with Tabs Module--> </div><!--end widget-span --> </div><!--end row--> </div><!--end row-wrapper --> <div class="row-fluid-wrapper row-depth-1 row-number-6 main_area-row-3-max-width-section-centering dnd-section main_area-row-3-padding"> <div class="row-fluid "> <div class="span12 widget-span widget-type-cell dnd-column" style="" data-widget-type="cell" data-x="0" data-w="12"> <div class="row-fluid-wrapper row-depth-1 row-number-7 dnd-row"> <div class="row-fluid "> <div class="span12 widget-span widget-type-custom_widget dnd-module" style="" data-widget-type="custom_widget" data-x="0" data-w="12"> <div id="hs_cos_wrapper_widget_1631263783806" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_module widget-type-rich_text" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="module"><span id="hs_cos_wrapper_widget_1631263783806_" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_rich_text" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="rich_text"><h2>Key takeaways</h2> <p>A Field Application Scientist (FAS) plays an important role in obtaining and maintaining the best value from your lab instruments and applications.

They are most interested in viewing the magnetic bead cleanup feature of the <a href="/products/mosquito/mosquito-hv" rel="noopener">Mosquito HV</a> during tagmentation, so we decided to run Nextera Flex at one tenth the volume for the demonstration.</span><br><br><span>As part of the meeting we agree on the type of data we will generate during the demonstration which I book with the customer and finish by arranging the instrument shipping.</span><br><br><span>I also take the time to follow up on another demo I recently completed to ensure the customer was satisfied with the instrument performance. I answer further questions and offer to do a virtual exploration of our software.</span></p> </div> </main> </div> <div class="hs-accordion__item" aria-expanded=""> <button> <h6>(10.30am) I check in on a customer</h6> <span class="hs-accordion__item-icon"></span> </button> <main> <div class="hs-accordion__item-content bullet-list-points"> <p><span>I was due to fly to the Mid Atlantic and NorthEast regions as part of our new Genomics software launch but unfortunately this has been canceled due to COVID-19. We are humbled by many of our customers who have repurposed their instruments for coronavirus research, testing, and vaccine efforts. It has become clear from reagent shortages and the number of samples to process that miniaturization and automation is critical for ramping up testing efforts.</span><br><br><span>Although we are not traveling at the moment, we are still doing everything we can to stay in touch with customers and to conduct demos. We are continuing to do technical calls with customers for future demonstration dates and face to face demos for liquid handling have been replaced by videos or members of the team have been conducting demos from home.</span><br><br><span>We’ve actually taken this time as an opportunity to conduct more training sessions. As many of our customers' lab staff are also working from home, this is a good time to do software training which might not have always been possible under normal circumstances. The extra training is very much appreciated to ensure everyone is up to speed on the instruments.</span><br><br><em>‘’Gaining an understanding of how our customers are getting value from our products is key. Not only does this ensure a good customer experience, it allows us to report feedback to the R&D team for improvements to be made’’.</em><br><br><span>During this time, I check in with one of my existing customers. I’m keen to understand how their experiments are progressing and the value they are receiving from the instrumentation and applications they are currently using. Not only is this critical to ensure a good customer experience, it allows me to report the comments to our research and development team so they can improve current products. It is also an effective way to contribute fresh innovation to create new scientific applications which emerge from customer needs.</span></p> </div> </main> </div> <div class="hs-accordion__item" aria-expanded=""> <button> <h6>(12.30 pm) I check in with my Applications Team</h6> <span class="hs-accordion__item-icon"></span> </button> <main> <div class="hs-accordion__item-content bullet-list-points"> <p><span>I have a quick catch up with my Application Team to share information about the protocols we are working on as well as any issues that have come up at customer sites.

Both the Territory Manager and FAS will be present to answer any questions the customer may have. This is often the first time the customer sees the instruments and software so it is important to provide an overview of how it works, its features and limitations. To achieve this, our team will run a spotting experiment with color dyes for visualization. For NGS researchers it’s also critical to test their samples at reduced volumes of their reagents.</li> <li>Lastly, we do a post-demo discussion of results. It’s a perfect moment to get initial feedback on the fit of our instrument(s) in the customer’s current laboratory setup. Liquid handling instrument demonstrations sometimes involve testing kits not previously miniaturized. Based on the obtained result we are able to provide guidance on protocol adjustments to further improve the yield and quality of results. </li> </ol> </div> </main> </div> </div></div> </div><!--end widget-span --> </div><!--end row--> </div><!--end row-wrapper --> </div><!--end widget-span --> </div><!--end row--> </div><!--end row-wrapper --> <div class="row-fluid-wrapper row-depth-1 row-number-15 dnd-section main_area-row-7-max-width-section-centering main_area-row-7-padding"> <div class="row-fluid "> <div class="span12 widget-span widget-type-cell dnd-column" style="" data-widget-type="cell" data-x="0" data-w="12"> <div class="row-fluid-wrapper row-depth-1 row-number-16 dnd-row"> <div class="row-fluid "> <div class="span12 widget-span widget-type-custom_widget dnd-module" style="" data-widget-type="custom_widget" data-x="0" data-w="12"> <div id="hs_cos_wrapper_widget_1631269522945" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_module widget-type-rich_text" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="module"><span id="hs_cos_wrapper_widget_1631269522945_" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_rich_text" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="rich_text"><h2>What our customers say about Field Application Scientists</h2></span></div> </div><!--end widget-span --> </div><!--end row--> </div><!--end row-wrapper --> </div><!--end widget-span --> </div><!--end row--> </div><!--end row-wrapper --> <div class="row-fluid-wrapper row-depth-1 row-number-17 dnd-section main_area-row-8-padding main_area-row-8-max-width-section-centering"> <div class="row-fluid "> <div class="span12 widget-span widget-type-cell dnd-column" style="" data-widget-type="cell" data-x="0" data-w="12"> <div class="row-fluid-wrapper row-depth-1 row-number-18 dnd-row"> <div class="row-fluid "> <div class="span12 widget-span widget-type-custom_widget dnd-module" style="" data-widget-type="custom_widget" data-x="0" data-w="12"> <div id="hs_cos_wrapper_widget_1631269554047" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_module" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="module"><div class="testimonial testimonial-widget_1631269554047" style="background-image: url('https://www.sptlabtech.com/hubfs/Website/00%20-%20Reusable%20Assets/Imagery/FAS-module-hero.jpg')"> <div class="overlay"> <div class="quote-container"> <div class="quote-box"> <div class="client-detail"> <blockquote><span>With support from the SPT Labtech Field Applications Team and engineers we have been able to implement the dragonfly crystal which has been invaluable for preparing complex plates for our Agilent RapidFire System. Using the dragonfly crystal, we've been able to easily create plates with concentration gradients of proteins spanning a diverse molecular weight range from insulin to antibodies in a variety of solution compositions that are of value within the Mass Spectrometry community. The dragonfly has allowed us to reach levels of experimental complexity that would have been significantly more challenging without it.</span></blockquote> <p class="name">Daniel Vallejo</p> <p class="info">4th-Year Graduate Research Assistant, University of Michigan</p> </div> </div> <div class="quote-arrows"> <a class="previous">❮</a> <a class="next">❯</a> </div> <ul class="quote-dots"></ul> </div> <!-- Hubl values to be used in Javascript --> <input type="hidden" name="testimonial-autoplay" class="testimonial-autoplay" value="false"> <input type="hidden" name="testimonial-speed" class="testimonial-speed" value="8000"> </div> </div> <!-- close Testimonial --> </div> </div><!--end widget-span --> </div><!--end row--> </div><!--end row-wrapper --> </div><!--end widget-span --> </div><!--end row--> </div><!--end row-wrapper --> </div><!--end widget-span --> </div> </div> <div data-global-resource-path="SPT-Labtech-2021/SPT-Labtech-Theme-2021/templates/partials/footer.html"><footer class="footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="container-fluid footer-inr"> <div class="row-fluid-wrapper"> <div class="row-fluid"> <div class="span12 widget-span widget-type-cell " style="" data-widget-type="cell" data-x="0" data-w="12"> <div class="row-fluid-wrapper row-depth-1 row-number-1 dnd-section"> <div class="row-fluid "> <div class="span12 widget-span widget-type-cell dnd-column" style="" data-widget-type="cell" data-x="0" data-w="12"> <div class="row-fluid-wrapper row-depth-1 row-number-2 dnd-row"> <div class="row-fluid "> <div class="span12 widget-span widget-type-custom_widget dnd-module" style="" data-widget-type="custom_widget" data-x="0" data-w="12"> <div id="hs_cos_wrapper_widget_1727255406258" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_module" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="module"><footer class="footer"> <div class="footer-top"> <img src="https://www.sptlabtech.com/hubfs/Admin/Logos/SPT%20Labtech%20Logo.png" alt="Logo" class="footer-logo"> </div> <div class="footer-line"></div> <div class="footer-nav"> <a href="https://www.sptlabtech.com/products">Products</a> <a href="https://www.sptlabtech.com/company">Company</a> <a href="https://www.sptlabtech.com/culture">Culture</a> <a href="https://apply.workable.com/spt-labtech/">Careers</a> <a href="https://www.sptlabtech.com/resources">Resources</a> <a href="https://www.sptlabtech.com/product-inquiry">Contact</a> <a href="https://store.sptlabtech.com/">Shop</a> </div> <div class="footer-line"></div> <div class="footer-bottom"> <div class="column column-left"> <p style="font-size: 20px;"><strong>Subscribe to get our latest update</strong></p> <button class="subscribe-button" id="subscribeButton">Subscribe</button> </div> <div class="column column-right"> <p style="font-size: 20px;"> <strong>Follow Us</strong></p> <div class="social-icons"> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.sptlabtech.com/hubfs/Quantifoil%20Website/Admin%20only/Logos/Teal%20LinkedIn%20Logo%20Icon%20PNG.png.png" alt="LinkedIn"> </a> <a href="https://www.twitter.com" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.sptlabtech.com/hubfs/Twitter%20-%20X%20New%20logo.png" alt="X"> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-final"> <div> <a href="https://www.sptlabtech.com/privacy">Privacy Policy</a> <a href="https://www.sptlabtech.com/legal">Legal</a> </div> <div class="footer-date"> <p>© 2024 SPT Labtech Ltd</p> </div> </div> </footer> <!-- Popup structure --> <div id="popupForm" class="popup"> <div class="popup-content"> <span class="close-btn" id="closePopup"></span> <!-- HubSpot form integration --> <span id="hs_cos_wrapper_widget_1727255406258_" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_form" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="form"><h3 id="hs_cos_wrapper_form_961457236_title" class="hs_cos_wrapper form-title" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget_field" data-hs-cos-type="text"></h3> <div id="hs_form_target_form_961457236"></div> </span> </div> </div></div> </div><!--end widget-span --> </div><!--end row--> </div><!--end row-wrapper --> </div><!--end widget-span --> </div><!--end row--> </div><!--end row-wrapper --> </div><!--end widget-span --> </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer></div> <!-- HubSpot performance collection script --> <script defer src="/hs/hsstatic/content-cwv-embed/static-1.1293/embed.js"></script> <script src="https://www.sptlabtech.com/hs-fs/hub/6586853/hub_generated/template_assets/85829631861/1690760505242/SPT-Labtech-2021/SPT-Labtech-Theme-2021/js/compiled.min.js"></script> <script> var hsVars = hsVars || {};
