Scientists Can Get A First-Rate Deal With Second-Hand Lab
Equipment
Author: Robert Finn
Last August, Brett Lane found himself on the horns of a dilemma.
The scientists at VivoRx Inc., a Santa Monica, Calif.-based company
that's developing diabetes treatments, needed a specific type of
Shimadzu spectrofluorometer. But as VivoRx's director of
facilities, Lane knew that the year-old company couldn't justify
spending the nearly $20,000 that a new model would cost, especially
since the instrument would get only occasional use.
So Lane started calling used-equipment resellers. First on his list
was Richard Civitate, president of Scientific Equipment Exchange
Inc., based in San Diego. Lo and behold, Civitate had the exact
model he needed in stock, so Lane put down the phone, hopped into
his car, and made the three-hour drive down the coast to Civitate's
showroom. When he saw that the spectrofluorometer had no major
blemishes, he and Civitate swiftly negotiated a $10,000 purchase
price. Minutes later they were loading the instrument into the back
of Lane's car. Days later VivoRx's researchers were up and running.
Lane's story illustrates the advantages of buying used laboratory
equipment...
