Liquid Technology, an industry-leading IT asset disposition service provider recently announced that after a successful bid, they were chosen to spearhead the biotech startup Theranos’ equipment and asset retirement processes. The operation, which began shortly after Theranos announced they were to shut down, began with Liquid Technology completing a thorough site survey and inventory list. Once Liquid Technology completed these initial steps, the company offered Theranos a bid covering the cost of all IT assets and logistic expenses, together reaching tens of thousands of dollars.
Theranos began as a promising and revolutionary biotech company with a mission of reinventing the blood testing process, but soon experienced complications in their business strategy and concern from the media.
