Mainline Scientific offers Total Solution packages.  While some customers choose to develop their own lab methods, customers have told us that they desire the option to purchase a total, turn-key solution. ​ Why?  Your job may be to get the results and use the instrument as a tool. 

You may have numerous job duties that prevent you from becoming the expert in all of these techniques.  In this case, you are then dealing with a learning curve.  Additionally, consumables for some instruments are expensive, costing $120 to $700+ just to try to see if a tweak to your method works. It can be very expensive and time consuming to develop applications for such instruments sold by other companies, which is not ideal for many Scientists.
