Used Lab Equipment On Sale
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle For many start-up labs,
embarking on a new research project can be
exciting. There are discoveries to be made,
people to be helped, and problems to be solved.
Before them lies endless possibility and
potential. However, as the project moves from
initial question and into the testing phase, the
cost of setting up a proper lab can get very
high, very fast. Funding is rarely abundant and
soon lab managers are faced with tough
decisions. So if you're under funded, where do
you turn? New Life for Used Lab Equipment Over
the last 15 years, a niche industry has risen to
meet that demand used laboratory equipment. As
the biotech industry grows, demand for second
hand lab equipment increases and has jumped
nearly 7 over the last decade. In its infancy
the used lab equipment market began with
foraging dumpsters outside of science and
technology companies. Those with a good eye could
retrieve functional used lab machines and
peripherals. It's now matured and expanded to
gently used inventory directly
sourced. Refurbished lab equipment can come from
manufacturers, or from dealers as overstock, or
sometimes from laboratory liquidations.
Companies like The Lab World Group, connect
buyers with the used lab equipment saving the
consumer significant money over their brand new
counterparts, sometimes as much as half the
cost. The money saved can then be reinvested into
the project. Its not just new labs on a shoe
string budget that benefit from the refurbished
lab equipment. Established Labs can also feel
the financial pinch. Labs often need to choose
which equipment will have to stretch for another
year and what must be replaced, sometimes that
can put the productivity at risk. Saving money
with refurbished lab equipment can extend the
life of the project and keep things on track.

The Lab World Group
How do you know if it works? Working with a
reputable dealer is key, as reliability could be
a gamble. The Lab World Groups highest priority
is vetting their inventory of laboratory
equipment. That means taking the time to double
check the used lab instruments as they come in,
making any necessary repairs, testing the
functionally for an extended period, then having
them professionally decontaminated and certified
prior to resale. All of these steps provide
assurances to both the buyer and the seller. A
properly refurbished and vetted machine can keep
operating for years. Used lab instruments enjoy a
return rate half that of the brand new machines,
saving time and costly shipping. Buying used lab
instruments has a very real ecological impact as
well. Electronic waste is a growing problem in
the US, especially as the biotech market
continues to grow. A second life in a new lab
keeps a reliable tool out of a landfill and
minimizes ground contamination. Extending the
life cycle of these used biotech instruments is
a great way to curb some of that waste.
Participating in the used lab equipment life
cycle doesnt just benefit the buyer. Labs
looking to free up space, and clear our surplus
supplies, can recoup some of their initial
investments and regain some capital. The Lab
World Group facilitates a variety of options for
laboratories looking to unload their used lab
equipment. From brokerage where the equipment
stays at the facility, acting as the broker with
an intense marketing campaign to aid in the
purchase and sale of the used lab equipment.
Offers can be accepted or rejected on a
continual basis. If a lab chooses to consign
their used laboratory equipment, it will be
relocated to a temperature controlled environment
where The Lab World Group will hold on to until
a purchase and sale has been finalized. Lastly,
there is the option of outright sale. The Lab
World Group will organize the pickup, packaging
and shipment of the used lab instrument once an
agreement has been put into place. For many
reasons, it just makes good business sense to
explore used lab equipment at the outset, and
work with a dealer you can trust. If you have a
