Buying used laboratory, testing, and analysis equipment is a very economical option for any lab. For large labs with high volume throughput and testing requirements, the additional equipment can be in place to handle overflow workload or to manage specific types of testing requirements.

For small to medium-sized labs, replacement equipment or additional equipment and systems to boost testing ability can be purchased without going over budget. Some of the best companies offering used Siemens equipment also provide financing options from 3rd party lenders, which can further reduce the initial price to the lab and easily work into any budget requirements.

Buying used Siemens equipment is an investment in the quality of testing through the facility. This is equipment used across the United States and around with world with a top reputation for innovation, reliability and long-life cycles even with regular use in the lab.

Refurbished or Used

When choosing between used or refurbished equipment, age and use will make a difference. Used equipment is tested and sold as is, which is typically in excellent operational and cosmetic order. Refurbished equipment is often older or more heavily used equipment. However, through the refurbishing process, it is brought up to OEM standards so is “like new.”

In addition, refurbished equipment will be upgraded to current standards for use in the lab. This is also equipment with a warranty through the used equipment seller.

Size and Capacity

As with new equipment, it is important to consider the capacity of the used Siemens equipment to integrate with the needs of your lab. This company offers different models in most testing and analytical equipment to match the requirements of the testing facility.

Size of the unit, particularly for existing lab configurations, will always be important to consider. Consider door openings, the addition of modules, and other factors when sizing the equipment for the facility.
