Our Lab Equipment Trade-in Process

Trading in lab equipment is a strategic financial and operational opportunity that entails:

1. Trade Initiation

Our trade-in process begins with an online form where you provide your asset's details to help us initiate the appraisal. This process requires some basic information like your unit's model, manufacturing year and functional condition, as well as details on which of our listings you'd like to purchase.

2. Appraisal and Valuation

After submitting the form, our team begins the appraisal to determine your lab equipment's fair market value. The factors that affect valuation include:

Market demand: The model's existing demand in the secondary market is a primary driver of its value.
Condition: Equipment in good functional and cosmetic condition often fetches a higher value.
Brand reputation: Lab equipment from reputable manufacturers typically retains value better.
Completeness: The inclusion of all original accessories, software and manuals increases the value of used lab instruments.
Service and calibration history: Comprehensive maintenance, repair and calibration documentation contributes to a greater value. These records verify the equipment's performance and condition.

3. The Offer

After the appraisal, we contact you with an offer of trade-in credit or cash payment. If you choose credit, we offer a higher value for your trade-in equipment.

Our team applies the value of the trade-in lab equipment as a discount toward the purchase of a used asset from our inventory, lowering the price of upgrading your lab equipment, so you can equip your laboratory with equipment that will offer you more value.

4. Logistics and Finalization

When you accept the offer, we begin the logistical phase. We coordinate the shipment of your purchased asset and provide clear instructions and support for preparing your trade-in equipment for transport. Our team schedules the day and time, empowering you to plan ahead and smoothly transition with minimal downtime.

We also ship international orders. Get in touch with our team to request details on the shipping charge.
