While laboratories are typically budget conscious during the best of times, when budgets tighten, labs must prioritize (and re-prioritize) projects and spending and look for additional cost-saving opportunities wherever possible.
There are so many ways that GenTech Scientific can help stretch your laboratory dollars. Here are three key ways that we can help.
Equip your lab for less
GenTech Scientific sells high-quality, expertly refurbished laboratory instruments. We buy quality used instruments and refurbish them to function like new at a fraction of the cost. Our skilled team repairs and restores a wide variety of analytical instruments – such as GC, MS, HPLC, ICP, LCMS – from all the the major manufacturers. (See image below for more detail.) We maintain a huge inventory of instruments, many already refurbished and ready-to-ship. With GenTech, you get like-new precision and performance, and cost savings. Why buy new when you don’t have to?
Extend the life of your equipment
GenTech Scientific has multiple options for preventive maintenance and service contracts to keep your equipment, and your lab, operating smoothly and productively. Our skilled technicians provide service at your location or at ours. Our large inventory of hard-to-find and legacy parts means we can continue to service discontinued instrumentation — even after the manufacturer stops.
We buy your surplus lab instruments
Space and dollars are always at a premium in every laboratory. Do you have unused assets taking up valuable space? Sell them and turn them into cash, or trade them in for credit on your next purchase — while keeping the equipment out of the landfill.
