What we do

Research labs upgrade and refresh their equipment on a regular cycle. New microscopes, new manipulators, new pipettes arrive — and the perfectly good older instruments end up in a closet, a basement, or a scrap heap.

That gear is too good to scrap and too specific for general resale. Meanwhile, teaching labs, community colleges, and PIs with tight budgets are paying full list price for the same instruments — or going without.

We sit in the middle. A friend who works in a research lab had surplus equipment with no clear home; we stepped in to handle the listing, photography, and buyer outreach. They get a fair check. Universities save 60–80% off list. The equipment goes back into active use.

What's in the catalog

It's a small, selective batch. Two David Kopf 640 micromanipulators (the gold standard for stereotaxic neurosurgery), a Kopf 1400/1430 stereotaxic frame, a pair of XY translation stages, vintage microscopy consumables from Scientific Products and Clay Adams, two cases of scintillation vials, and a bag of vial caps.

This isn't a fire sale. We price at used-market rates, not scrap. Institutions get premium gear at significant discounts, and the original lab gets compensated fairly for gear that would otherwise sit unused.

How to buy

There's no e-commerce cart. Universities don't buy lab equipment with credit cards anyway — they need quotes, POs, net-30 terms, and W-9s.

Click any item, hit Request Quote, and we'll respond the same day with: line-item pricing, shipping estimate, payment terms (PO / wire / ACH), and a custom W-9 if needed. Most orders ship within 5 business days.

What's "institutional only"?

We sell to accredited universities, colleges, community colleges, and educational nonprofits. We do not ship to private resellers, individuals, or overseas buyers. If you're a PI and your institution is the buyer, that works. If you're an individual hobbyist, check LabX or eBay.
