Save Money on Lab Equipment
Running a lab means having the right equipment for the job at hand. Staying on budget with the right supplies means being able to buy the lab equipment you need for a good price as well as sell your surplus fairly. Somethings you should look at when trying to save money on the things that you need include what types of equipment are available as well as the companies who sell them. Some companies can even offer you quality refurbished units and help you sell your current units. This can make a big difference in how far your budget goes as well as how much room you have at your facility.
Equipment Types
Since different labs will need to handle different things, the right equipment for your lab will not be exactly the same as another. When looking for vendors and lab equipment, this means knowing what types you need. Some places will offer a variety of analytical instruments as well as robots and automation to help you get what you need in one stop. You can find new or quality refurbished units, sometimes even from the same vendor. The more equipment you can get from the same place the less research you will need to do in the long run.
Vendor Types
Not every vendor can sell you every type of instrument and equipment. Some will be able to sell you used lab equipment and some will be able to get the units you need to where you are. However, you can find the right vendor by comparing the selections offered to your needs, by reading reviews and by contacting the company with any questions you may have.
Some of the types of vendors you can choose from include specialists who only sell one brand or type of equipment and those who can outfit your entire lab. You can also find vendors which focus in one area and all the instruments and equipment involved with that area. You can also find vendors who sell refurbished, “as-is” or components units to help you save money.
Finding a way to cut costs while increasing productivity is usually a pipe dream. However, if you run a lab, and know what you are looking for, then you can find the right equipment to do both. This includes things like liquid handling, the next generation sequencing units and much more. By looking at your needs, and the types of lab equipment best fit those needs, you can find the right vendor.
