What You Should Know When Buying Medical Laboratory Equipment

There are some important factors that have to be taken into account when buying medical lab equipment. A well-equipped lab would help ensure that lab procedures are efficiently performed.

A well-equipped lab with all the necessary medical instruments and devices would ensure efficiency, accuracy and promptness in laboratory procedures. To source the right kind of products, you need to be discerning when buying medical laboratory equipment for your healthcare facility.

Buying Medical Laboratory Equipment – Things to Consider

Features and specifications – Before buying medical equipment, do some thorough research about the product. Go to dealer or manufacturer websites and other reliable sources to study the features, specifications and other related facts about the product you intend to purchase. Make sure that the product you choose meets your laboratory’s specific research requirements.

Quality – The market is flooded with various brands of lab equipment. It is important that you buy the right model and good brand. Accuracy, efficient functioning and durability are important features to consider when you invest in expensive medical lab devices. So make sure you buy a quality device from a leading manufacturer. Go for products from reliable names such as Roche Diagnostics, Beckman, Clay Adams and Unico.

If you are looking at recertified equipment, your ideal option is to buy from a well known dealer that specializes in selling such devices. Reliable dealers will ensure that the used equipment they buy is put through a well-organized refurbishment process so that it functions like new. Stringent quality control will ensure that these products are revamped in a way that they meet original manufacturer specifications.

Budget – Consider your budget when you invest in expensive lab equipment. If you have budget limitations, buying recertified equipment is an ideal option as they are available at prices much lower than new, but work efficiently.

Accessories – Many of the dealers provide parts and accessories along with the products they sell. If you are buying chemistry lab equipment, make sure that spare parts are available as also reagents, controls and consumables.

Warranty – To ensure lasting performance, check out whether the medical equipment you purchase comes with proper warranty. When it comes to used products, check whether they have parts warranty.

Shipping and return policy – It is advisable to go through the shipment terms and conditions, return policy, charges and other related details to avoid complications that could arise during transport. If you notice that the product is damaged on delivery, notify the dealer immediately.

Post-purchase service – When you choose a supplier, consider post-sales support offered. A reliable dealer would offer in-house service and repair, customized on-site annual service contracts, Preventive Maintenance (PM) service contracts, and ongoing personal support services.

There are numerous medical equipment suppliers in the US. When buying medical laboratory equipment, find a one-stop-shop that can offer you all need at reasonable prices.

How to Find a Reliable Dealer to Sell Your Lab Equipment

If you are looking to sell lab equipment, it is important that you find a reliable dealer to buy it. Lab equipment is quite expensive, especially that used for advanced applications such as blood gas and electrolyte analysis, chemistry, immunology, hematology, microbiology, and so on. So to benefit from a good price, you have to sell the devices to a reliable dealer.

Finding a Reliable Supplier - Steps Involved

There are many different ways that can help you locate a medical equipment dealer. The proper use of the available resources can easily help you locate a laboratory equipment dealer that you can trust. Going by the following steps can help:

• Browse the web – Browsing the Internet is one of the easiest and most convenient ways to locate dealers. Just entering the right terms or keywords on search engines can yield very specific results. Looking through the listings of lab product dealers in web directories and the yellow pages is a very dependable way of finding the right dealer for your lab equipment.
• Shortlist suppliers – The next step involved in choosing a dealer is to shortlist dealers you think can offer you a good price for your product.
• Type of equipment: See if your dealer will buy a device whether it is working or not if you are trying to sell equipment that is not in proper working order.
• Compare quotes and conditions: Check out the quotes and conditions that different buyers offer, including shipping costs and whether they are included in the price.
• Choose your dealer – From the short-listed category, choose the dealer that can offer you the best deal. A CCR (Central Contractor Registration -certified vendor of laboratory devices is a good choice. Such dealers specialize in buying used lab gadgets from universities and government institutions, and recertifying them for sale.

Sell to a Dealer Specializing in Refurbishing Lab Devices

A dealer that specializes in selling refurbished lab devices is a good choice. Such dealers buy used equipment and put them through a revamping process before offering it for sale to needy laboratories. The vendors have certified personnel look through the used device, repair it and replace parts so that it works as good as new. Original manufacturer specifications are taken into account. They offer the product for sale with limited parts warranty at a reasonable price. So selling your lab equipment to these reliable dealers is an ideal option and can fetch you a good price.
