Collection and Resale Services

Problem

Laboratories, whether university or private sector, have the challenge of what to do with equipment they no longer use. This can lead to equipment accumulating in laboratories and store-rooms.

  • Selling lab equipment can pose many challenges - repairs, listing and dealing with buyers is time consuming and costly
  • Capital is tied up in unused, unwanted lab equipment
  • For many items waste disposal is often the only option.

And,

  • Buying new laboratory equipment can be prohibitively expensive
  • Labs are constrained by finite budgets.
  • There are few reputable sources of good, used laboratory equipment
