Used Lab Equipment for Sale - All

Over the last 15 years, a niche industry has risen to meet that demand; used laboratory equipment. As the biotech industry grows, demand for high quality 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 laboratory machines and peripherals. It's now matured and expanded to gently used lab products directly sourced.

Refurbished laboratory equipment can come from manufacturers, or from dealers as overstock, or sometimes from laboratory liquidations. Companies like The Lab World Group, connect buyers with a wide range of high performance, gently used 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.

It’s not just new labs on a shoestring budget that benefit from the refurbished laboratory equipment. Established Labs can also feel the financial pinch. Facilities often need to choose which equipment will have to stretch for another year and what must be replaced, sometimes that can put productivity at risk. Saving money with refurbished lab instruments can extend the life of the project and keep things on track.
