Buying a new model, refurbished or like-new, used gas chromatography system is a very smart idea. This allows a lab or testing facility to get just the model and type of equipment that is needed for the types of testing required by up to seventy percent of the price of a new model from a dealer.
Reputation of the Company
As with any used equipment purchase, there are some important factors to keep in mind. To ensure the best quality used gas chromatography equipment it will be essential to work with a recognized, reputable used laboratory and medical equipment supplier.
As many companies are now selling this equipment online, have a simple way to evaluate the company from the website is a skill that will be put to good use. Recognizing a professional, ethical and reputable company from an online equipment broker or just a reseller isn’t difficult when the site is reviewed with three factors in mind.
Professionalism
The best company to work with for your purchase of used gas chromatography equipment is a company that is run like a business. Check that there is contact information provided on the website. This includes a direct call in number where the phone is answered by live sales staff during business hours.
A clear sign of a less than reputable site is email only contact or if calls are constantly going to voice mail during business hours.
Selection of Equipment
When purchasing gas chromatography equipment, it is always a good idea to shop with an online company offering recognized brand names from manufacturers you know and trust.
Used equipment companies should also be able to provide support and information on the various models and options to help you to get the machine you need while staying in the budget.
