Looking to save big on lab equipment costs? Learn how to make your lab budget go further in this guest post from Prendio Supplier Partner, American Instrument Exchange (AIE):
General purpose lab equipment can be expensive to procure and maintain. But with American Instrument Exchange, labs can purchase high quality refurbished, recent vintage lab equipment with savings of 40% to 60% lower than the price of comparable new models.
American Instrument Exchange has been buying and selling laboratory equipment since 1969. Family owned and operated, AIE serves over 20,000 customers worldwide including biomedical, medical research, chemical, major pharmaceutical companies, biotech startups, and university and hospital research laboratories, major breweries and microbreweries, cannabis startups, and academic labs. All equipment ships from AIE’s 30,000 square foot warehouse in Massachusetts and they can provide their customers with multiple domestic and international freight and delivery options.
American Instrument Exchange’s facilities include a fully-equipped shop where trained technicians test equipment prior to shipping. All equipment is decontaminated, cleaned and comes with a warranty.
So how can AIE save you money? Well, let’s say you’re looking for a stack of Thermo Heracell VIOS 160i CO2 incubators. The cost on two chambers from Thermo Fisher Scientific has a current list price $12,701 per chamber and 43-day lead time. From American Instrument Exchange, this same equipment is $4,900 per chamber, or $9,000 per stack, and can be available to ship in a week.
How about an ultralow freezer? A Thermo TSX60086 has a list price of $32,383 and a 40-day lead time. Compare that to American Instrument Exchange – they list the TSX60086 at $12,000 and it’s available to ship in one to two weeks.
For an entire cell culture lab package, including a biosafety cabinet, benchtop centrifuge, floor model centrifuge, refrigerator, freezer, and cryogenic storage, an analytical balance, an inverted microscope, glassware washer, and assorted benchtop items like water baths, pipettes, vortex mixers, new pricing will balloon to almost $250,000.
From American Instrument Exchange? Approximately $98,000.
That’s a savings of 60%, or $152,000. That’s over one hundred thousand dollars to spend on personnel, or extending your runway, or any other expenditures you choose.
American Instrument Exchange’s knowledgeable sales staff is available to help you select the right equipment for your lab and to provide information on pricing, availability, condition, and shipping and delivery options for your lab. For customers in New England, they can offer white glove, inside delivery service.
