Labs and testing services, both inside a hospital or research facility as well as third-party providers, need to stay current with the latest in equipment and testing methods. This includes having the latest in software, testing and reporting capabilities as well as to handle the workflow through the lab.
Adding new equipment to a lab can be costly, particularly when considering HPLC or High Performance Liquid Chromatography systems. Many smaller and startup labs cannot afford this equipment new, so they turn to quality used liquid chromatography systems.
The Price
There are several very good reasons to add used liquid chromatography to any lab. While price is the obvious consideration, there are at least three others as well. Keep in mind, the price difference between new and used can be significant, and often as much or more than 50% less than the original equipment price.
By choosing refurbished, there will be a warranty, which is another benefit to using a reputable used equipment dealer rather than buying privately or through an auction.
Testing Capacity
In many labs, the used liquid chromatography equipment is used to boost current testing capacity. This may be to add a smaller system for overflow testing, or it may be to increase lab workflow capacity significantly.
Software and Features
It is a mistake to equate used laboratory equipment with old or outdated models. A top used equipment company will offer some of the latest models through their used or refurbished sales. This includes equipment with the latest in automation and features as well as fully up-to-date software systems.
High ROI
The choice of used HPLC system or other liquid chromatography equipment will yield a high return on investment. Having the ability to compare prices, models and features will ensure the right equipment is selected to work seamlessly in your lab.
