Upgrading legacy laboratory equipment from Windows XP

Are you struggling with migrating your expensive lab equipment from XP or Windows 7 OS to the latest Microsoft Windows 10 or 11 OS platform? This is a common concern among lab users and scientists, as many laboratories have expensive analysis equipment that relies on legacy software compatible with older Microsoft operating systems. Unfortunately, many of these instruments lack the necessary hardware drivers to operate seamlessly on the current versions of Windows OS, and some OEMs have dropped support for these workhorse devices, even though they are still in excellent working condition and beloved by their users. This presents a challenging situation, as replacing or upgrading these devices could cost millions of dollars. Additionally, these devices are often connected to the lab's network, and scientists cannot disconnect them as they rely on them to extract data to Excel worksheets or databases.

However, there is good news for those facing this dilemma. Service AI has successfully configured Beckman Coulter DU-800 spectrophotometers with software that was originally designed to work on Windows XP, to function securely on Windows 10, 64-bit OS platform. So if you are experiencing similar issues in your lab, there may be a solution to migrate your equipment to the latest Windows operating system.
