Why Research Facilities Choose Pre-Owned Lab Equipment Over New
Cost efficiency drives many laboratories toward pre-owned lab equipment, but smart buyers look beyond initial savings. We recognize that laboratories need equipment that performs like new while fitting within realistic budget constraints. Our approach centers on the Copia 360 System, which transforms how facilities acquire and integrate laboratory solutions.
The Copia certification process ensures that every lab equipment meets rigorous performance standards before reaching research environments. This systematic evaluation includes comprehensive testing, refurbishment, and documentation that validates equipment readiness for demanding laboratory applications.
How Refurbished Laboratory Equipment Maintains Research Quality
Quality concerns often discourage laboratories from considering pre-owned lab equipment. We address these concerns through our comprehensive certification approach that subjects each piece of lab equipment to thorough evaluation protocols. Every lab equipment undergoes systematic testing to verify performance parameters match original specifications.
Our lab equipment refurbishment process includes:
- Complete mechanical and electronic system evaluation
- Replacement of worn components with genuine parts
- Calibration verification against manufacturer standards
- Documentation of all testing and validation procedures
- Quality control certification for research applications
What Warranty Covers Certified Pre-Owned Lab Equipment
Lab equipment reliability concerns laboratories investing in pre-owned equipment. We provide 180-day warranty coverage with every certified lab equipment, offering peace of mind that extends well beyond typical pre-owned equipment purchases. Extended warranty options provide up to one year of comprehensive parts and labor coverage for laboratories requiring additional protection.
This warranty structure reflects our confidence in the Copia Certification Process and demonstrates our commitment to long-term laboratory partnerships. Each warranty includes detailed documentation outlining coverage terms and support procedures.
