Let\u2019s face it, running a behavioral healthcare lab isn\u2019t cheap.<\/p>\n
Staffing, utilities, rent\u2026you name it, and there\u2019s a large investment involved. Of all the typical laboratory overheads, though, the cost of equipment can be a particular burden.<\/p>\n
Indeed, many essential pieces of gear can set you back\u00a0thousands of dollars<\/a>. With tight budgets and limited funding, such significant sums of cash can be hard to handle.<\/p>\n Which is why buying used lab equipment makes perfect sense. You can pick everything up for a fraction of its usual price. Acquiring necessary lab gear and goods becomes far more feasible as a result.<\/p>\n The downside is that you can\u2019t always guarantee its quality, condition, or general fitness for purpose. And, in a lab setting, that\u2019s never a good thing.<\/p>\n Thankfully, there\u2019s a lot you can do to avoid that eventuality. Sound good? Read on for 7 tips to employ when purchasing second-hand lab equipment.<\/p>\n Imagine going clothes shopping. Isn\u2019t it easier when you know your size, style, and needs from the outset?<\/p>\n The same is true of buying second-hand lab equipment.<\/p>\n Make sure you know exactly what you\u2019re looking for from the get-go. Try to know the dimensions you need, the brands you like, the model you desire, and the essential features your lab requires.<\/p>\n For example, people come to us looking for a high-quality\u00a0used auto-sampler.<\/p>\n They want to automate their sampling process. Whether it’s a liquid, solid, or gas, these\u00a0instruments have an injection valve that takes\u00a0samples\u00a0and loads\u00a0them automatically into the sample loop.<\/p>\n Our buyers tend to have particular manufacturers in mind for the task as well. With a Shimazu SIL-10AF, Hach ASX-7200, and a PerkinElmer Diamond DSC all available, they always walk away happy.<\/p>\n Knowing your requirements will help hone your search. You\u2019ll find what you need in less time and with fewer hiccups along the way.<\/p>\n Finding the right lab supplier is pivotal. Alas, not all of them are made equal.<\/p>\n Some, for example, operate only as a vendor or middle-man. They know little to nothing about lab goods and try only to turn a profit. They don\u2019t test their products and offer only as-is options.<\/p>\n You buy the product as it comes and gamble your money in the process.<\/p>\n Make sure you put the effort into finding more reliable sources of second-hand equipment. Cheap products are a waste of money if they don\u2019t work properly! Look for reputable names, positive reviews, and good customer service.<\/p>\n Think about buying a used car.<\/p>\n You\u2019d never hand over thousands of dollars for a vehicle you hadn\u2019t test-driven. Looks can be deceiving; there\u2019s no way to know that it runs well, feels good, and handles effectively.<\/p>\n Testing lab equipment prior to purchase is like taking it for a test drive.<\/p>\n You\u2019re doing all of the same things: ensuring it turns on and functions as expected.<\/p>\n Ask a supplier like ARC Scientific about their testing processes for used lab equipment<\/a>. Ask them if you can see evidence of that testing (such as video footage and\/or documentation). Better still, see if it\u2019s possible for you to \u2018try before you buy\u2019.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Let\u2019s face it, running a behavioral healthcare lab isn\u2019t cheap.
