Considerations for Purchasing Pre-Owned Laboratory Equipment

Written by Sarah Johnson | January 04, 2023

Pre-owned laboratory equipment is a great option for those who are working with a tight budget. Many labs, especially those in the academic field, are funded through grants or other private foundations, limiting their ability to purchase brand new equipment. When looking to purchase pre-owned or refurbished instruments, it's always recommended that you ask questions on the history of the equipment and its current state of operation. 

Lab Manager recently published a purchasing guide for pre-owned instruments which lists the top 6 questions you should be asking when looking into used laboratory equipment. These questions will ensure that you're receiving all the available information on the instrument and that it will be suitable for your application. Also included is a downloadable infographic on tips for finding the best equipment vendor for you. 

Organomation is one of Lab Manager's vendors for pre-owned equipment. We have a refurbished instrument program where we restore used or damaged nitrogen evaporators and extractors. Our refurbished units are tested extensively to ensure that they are restored to full working condition, and they come with a one year standard warranty on parts and labor. With savings of up to 50% off list price, you can receive a unit that operates just like new.
