Tips To Consider Before Buying New Lab Equipment
2
Price

• When purchasing new (or refurbished) science
  laboratory equipment, price is always a major
  concern.
• Not only should the purchase price be taken into
  consideration, but how much will it cost to
  properly maintain the equipment over its
  lifetime?
•  How does the purchase price compare to other
  similar makes and models on the market?
• A side-by-side comparison of the different makes
  and models may simplify the decision-making
  process.

Availability

• For the most part, when you are looking at buying
  science equipment you will want it to be
  delivered at the earliest.
• Frequently lab gear will be foreign made from
  abroad and could also be out of stock then
  things could take up to 10 weeks to convey.
• Search for items that are in stock and
  accessible for prompt conveyance.
• On the off chance that stock isn't accessible,
  ensure you get your laboratory equipment supplier
  to cite a lead time enabling you to contrast cost
  and the relating lead time to decide whether you
  can trade off on lead time at a superior cost.

After Sales

• It is often a good idea to ask your supplier what
  kind of after sales support they offer.
• If something was to go wrong or you need
  assistance with using the science equipment, it
  is great to know that you can pick up the phone
  and get prompt support with your enquiry.
•  After sales support should be the best always.
  Be it any product/service.

5
Warranty

• Warranty is another important aspect that we must
  consider at all costs.
• Warranties differ from supplier to supplier.
• The laboratory equipment supplier through which
  you are dealing with should always offer you the
  best warranty scheme.
• Even if it isnt offered, you must ask your
  supplier and make sure you end up getting a good
  deal.
