Maximizing Your Year End Lab Budget: Build Reliability and Efficiency for 2026
Boston, MA – October 20, 2025 – As 2025 comes to a close, many labs are deciding how to allocate remaining funds while planning for the year ahead. The challenge is to make technology investments that best align with upcoming research projects, increase workflow efficiencies, maximize productivity, while reducing risk for 2026 and beyond.
At Copia Scientific, we help labs turn year end spend into lasting value. Through certified pre-owned equipment, multi-vendor service, method development support, and systems integration, we ensure every budget dollar spent strengthens productivity, compliance, and confidence.
Invest in Certified Pre-Owned Systems with Confidence
When budgets are tight and timelines are short, certified pre-owned (CPO) equipment offers the fastest and most sustainable way to add capacity.
- Stretch Your Budget: Save up to 45% compared to new system costs
- Accelerate Deployment: Lead times of 4 to 6 weeks keep projects on schedule
- Reduce Risk: Every system goes through the Copia Certification Process (CCP), which includes full inspection, refurbishment/rebuild, testing, and alignment with OEM standards. Systems are delivered, installed, validated and backed by Copia’s research-ready guarantee/warranty coverage for up to one year.
This approach maximizes confidence and ensures compatibility with existing workflows.
Maintain System Uptime with LabSquad Multi-Vendor Service Coverage
Don't let equipment reliability issues limit research and downstream productivity. Critical systems demand regular service and maintenance to deliver reliable and timely results free of disruptions. So, don’t forget to invest year-end funds on critical service coverage for the new year.
- Service contracts and preventative maintenance programs designed to extend instrument life and reduce downtime
- Multi-vendor coverage across liquid handlers, automation, microplate readers, microplate washers, dispensers, sealers, incubators, and more
- Faster response times
- Highly trained Field Service Engineers covering multiple platforms
- One engineer can service multiple systems – for a more efficient service experience
Investment in service coverage can mean fewer interruptions and alignment with research milestones for 2026.
