Less equipment
to manage.
One clear next step.

Send us the laboratory instruments you’re ready to sell. We’ll review the details and discuss a practical purchase and handover.

Send an equipment list
01

A single instrument is a good place to start.
A spreadsheet is welcome for a larger list.

How it works

Keep the
handover simple.

You know the equipment and the site. We start there, then agree the commercial and practical details before anything moves.

  1. Share the list

    Model, quantity, condition and location. Photos and an existing asset list help; an email is enough to begin.

  2. Review the details

    We may ask about configuration, operating status and accessories before discussing an offer.

  3. Agree the purchase

    Confirm the equipment scope, price, payment terms and collection responsibilities in writing.

  4. Prepare the handover

    Coordinate access, safe disconnection and the agreed packing or collection arrangements.

A few practical questions.

Can I send an existing asset spreadsheet?

Yes. A spreadsheet with manufacturer, model, quantity, location and condition is a useful starting point. Add photographs where available. Please remove any information unrelated to the equipment sale.

What if I don’t know whether it works?

Say that it is untested or disconnected and describe the last known use. Do not power on equipment solely for an enquiry if it requires specialist setup or safety checks.

Should I include computers and accessories?

List what is available, including controllers, workstations, cables, probes and software licence details. Agree the final scope before removing or separating components.

Can you review more than one location?

Include a location against each item or group in your list. Timing, access and collection arrangements need to be agreed for each site.

Equipment notes & practical guidance

A closer look at the equipment.

A laboratory rarely fits into one category. These photographed systems show the range of detail that makes an equipment list useful—from optics and detectors to workstations and modules.
