Pre-owned laboratory instruments, bought outright

Your idle instrument still has value on paper. We turn it into payment.

Labs replace mass spectrometers, microscopes and sequencers long before they wear out. SIB Instruments buys those systems directly from the lab, pays upfront, and takes care of de-installation, crating and freight.
