More researchers are discovering that buying used laboratory equipment can be an effective way to reduce costs. An excellent supply of high-quality, used chromatography equipment is available on the market as a result of mergers and consolidations in biotechnology companies and downsizing in the environmental industry.
Used and refurbished high performance liquid chromatography equipment can be a cost-effective alternative to new instrumentation, and today's market has an excellent supply of this equipment. This article provides a helpful guide to the process, factors to consider, and tips about equipment sources, including new Internet services.
