Based on the survey results, PerkinElmer developed its eLearning offering, including 13 courses in four categories: scientific application, informatics, biopharma and biology.
In addition to general scientific courses, PerkinElmer will also offer instrument and application specific custom courses in the areas of atomic absorption, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy, and chromatography.
Additional custom eLearning solutions will be added in the immediate future.
"Our eLearning offering provides the most extensive and diverse content in the life and analytical sciences industry.
"By creating an offering based on customer feedback, we are certain that eLearning will provide customers with the information and tools necessary to maximise instrument and application investments," said Peter Coggins, president of PerkinElmer Life and Analytical Sciences.
"eLearning is the latest addition to our extensive services portfolio and another example of PerkinElmer's commitment to services - an integral aspect of our ongoing business strategy".
To meet the various needs of PerkinElmer's customer base and beyond, PerkinElmer now offers a three-tiered training portfolio that includes classroom training, on-site custom training and eLearning offerings.
eLearning is a scalable, cost-effective solution that rounds out PerkinElmer's training offerings, says the company.
The training courses included in the eLearning offering provide expert design, validated scientific content, and the latest technological advancements, ensuring that customers can easily utilise the information learned to maximise productivity while managing training-related costs.
"One of the most exciting aspects of this new offering is our ability to develop best-in-class custom courses," said Coggins.
"We feel that our customers will benefit enormously by being able to work with our in-house experts to design a course focused directly to their areas of interest.".
