Copia Certification Process (CCP)
Copia Certification Process
The Copia Certification Process (CCP) ensures every refurbished instrument meets rigorous standards for accuracy, reliability and precision, giving automation engineers, scientists and researchers confidence in equipment that’s been fully inspected, repaired, calibrated, and validated.
At Copia Scientific, we go beyond standard warranty checks to ensure every instrument we sell performs at its peak. Our Copia Certification Process (CCP) is a multi-stage, rigorous renewal protocol that guarantees your certified refurbished equipment works like new or better.
Unlike used instruments sold “as-is,” our Certified Pre-Owned equipment undergoes a structured, verifiable refurbishment process, including inspection, repair, and performance validation by qualified technicians. Each instrument comes with documentation, technical support and warranty, giving you peace of mind and consistent, reliable results.
Our Certification Includes:
- Comprehensive inspection of mechanical, electronic, and fluid systems
- Functional repairs and OEM-grade component replacement
- Consumable replacement and software/firmware updates
- Performance testing to manufacturer and industry standards
- Calibration and real-world workflow validation
How CCP Works
Every instrument begins with a deep evaluation of:
- Mechanical components
- Electronic systems
- Fluid paths (for automated liquid handlers)
- User interface and software functionality
Any damaged or worn parts are flagged for replacement, ensuring no issues go unnoticed.
- Faulty components are repaired or replaced with OEM or equivalent-grade parts
- Consumables such as seals, tubing, and filters are routinely replaced
- Software and firmware are updated to the latest supported versions
Instruments are tested to meet:
- Original manufacturer performance specifications
- Industry standards for data accuracy, sensitivity, and resolution
- Calibration requirements (NIST-traceable where applicable)
Testing may include system diagnostics, leak checks, or sample runs to confirm real-world functionality.
Why CCP Matters
By fully disassembling, inspecting and refurbishing each instrument, not just cleaning it up, Copia ensures that your equipment is reliable, precise, and ready for the demands of modern laboratories. The CCP sets our certified instruments apart, providing:
- Verified quality and consistent performance
- Confidence in safety and reliability
- A sustainable, cost-effective alternative to new equipment
With CCP, you get more than a refurbished instrument, you get a Copia-certified solution you can trust.
