As we’ve mentioned before on this blog (more than once) purchasing used lab equipment is a great way for new labs to save money and extend their runway.
Lab equipment represents a huge percentage of any lab’s startup budget, so the possibility of saving up to 60% of the cost on equipment always sounds like a great investment. But how can you be sure that you’re purchasing used equipment that’s going to work properly, be delivered by professionals, and arrive clean and with minimal wear and tear? In other words, how can you be assured that the used equipment you purchase is going to give you the best return on investment?
Resellers with decades of experience like American Instrument Exchange can provide high quality used and refurbished lab equipment that is tested, cleaned, and cost-effective.
