Thermo Scientific ULT430A21 Undercounter (20C Freezer) The Thermo Revco ULT430A Freezer is among REUZEit’s top-rated cold storage equipment thanks to its compact design and ease of placement. It’s regarded as a suitable option when storing reagents, biologicals, pharmaceuticals, and other common laboratory elements, and is appreciated for its easy access. The unit features a user-friendly digital control panel to modify the temperature and set alarm parameters.

The Thermo Revco ULT430A can be purchased on the REUZEit website for $1,200.  True T-23F-HC Reach-In Solid Swing Door Freezer Next is the True Reach-in Solid Swing Door Freezer, a cold storage unit designed for durability, colder temperatures, decreased utility costs, and top-tier food safety. It hosts an extra large evaporator coil, a compressor with bolstered horsepower, and a big condenser to maintain cabinet temperatures as low as -10 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature is displayed on a screen built into the cabinet’s exterior.  The True Reach-in Solid Swing Door Freezer also uses an automatic condensing fan to expel dirt and dust from the condensing coil, and an auto-defrost system which starts on a timer before stopping once the freezer has reached its goal temperature. Currently, this piece of cold storage equipment runs for $2,999 on the REUZEit website, with financing available in the U.S. for as low as $63.83 per month.  Thermo Fisher Revco UxF  Lastly, the Revco - 86C Upright Ultra-Low Temperature Freezer is a bit pricier than the previous cold storage equipment options for a few key reasons.

Where to Find the Most Valuable Scientific Equipment

Knowing where to start is often the most difficult part of any task. This is certainly true when you’re looking for critical scientific equipment to purchase at a price that fits your budget. You’ll wonder where to begin. Do you go through an authorized retailer? Do you go through eBay? Fortunately, these are questions that have easy answers. And we have those for you here at REUZEit. Learn about some of the hassles that you may encounter when purchasing excess equipment online, and discover two solutions that can help your business with its organizational needs through our website and our SAMP integrated platform.  The Hassle of Finding Scientific Equipment Online  Let’s face it: purchasing lab equipment online can be a hassle. Scrolling through an e-commerce site such as eBay trying to find the best deal while making sure the product meets your needs is not easy. General e-commerce auction sites sell everything and anything. They are not surplus lab equipment-specific companies that specialize in selling this type of inventory.  Purchasing Capital Equipment on REUZEit’s Website  At REUZEit, selling surplus equipment is our mission. Our U.S. and E.U. e-commerce sites offer access to surplus scientific equipment such as chemistry, computer/IT, and laser devices, to name just a few. There are many benefits to our e-commerce stores. One of them is the ability to purchase discounted products, such as this HT Infors Multitron Model AJ125 Incubator Shaker. Along with this, we also offer products sold at different points in their lifespans, with corresponding price points that will meet your budgeting needs. Some of our products are just like new, some are used, while others are seller refurbished.  Surplus Asset Management Platform (SAMP)  Along with our e-commerce stores, we also offer our Surplus Asset Management Platform (SAMP). With this integrated portal, your organization can post items to most online marketplaces all in one place. Rather than posting through eBay, LabX, BOE, and others separately, you can facilitate and expedite the process by doing it all through one platform. Through our platform, there are four levels of service, each representing the different organizational needs of your company. For instance, our ClearPartner™level gives your company access to managing quotes, customer invoices, and acts as a tasks manager to keep everything organized.

The Negative Effects of Landfills

Let’s face it; landfills are awful. They’re eyesores, smell terrible, attract vermin, and take up valuable space. Beyond these obvious traits, landfills are one of the chief sources of environmental degradation on this planet. It would be impossible, in fact, to cover all of the negative effects of landfills in a single post. Let’s look at the two biggest reasons landfills are so toxic and how REUZEit’s mission can reduce landfill waste. How Landfills Affect Soil  It’s safe to say that nearly everything that is thrown away ends up in landfills. And it’s also safe to say that most people don’t think about the chemical makeup of their trash. When waste breaks down, the toxins within seep directly into the ground. Even the most innocuous items - a child’s teddy bear or an old reclining chair - contain toxic compounds that can contaminate soil.  Even if it didn’t take decades - or longer - for landfill waste to fully decompose, the ground underneath is rendered permanently toxic. Electronic waste, or e-waste, contributes in two ways: electronic devices and lab equipment have a long shelf life, and they contain compounds and elements (cadmium and mercury in particular) that are particularly toxic.  How Landfills Affect Groundwater  One of the most insidious by-products of landfills is a term that most people have never heard of: leachate. Much of the waste that ends up in a landfill will eventually begin breaking down. Precipitation - rain, snow, or even dew and fog - will filter through the decomposing waste and leach into the soil. Eventually, despite efforts to contain it, some of this contaminated water will enter the water table–the top layer of the earth’s groundwater supply).  It’s not hard to see why this is bad. And sadly, e-waste has made it worse; the metals and plastics found in electronic devices, including lab equipment, contain high amounts of heavy metals and chemicals.  Keeping Lab Equipment Out Of Landfills We’ve noted that e-waste is a major contributor to landfill waste, and the problem is getting worse. But there is a silver lining; much, perhaps even most, of the lab equipment that organizations discard is able to be reused. One of the easiest ways to keep lab equipment out of landfills is by purchasing refurbished and surplus equipment. REUZEit works with our network of labs and companies to purchase surplus equipment, refurbish it so that it’s in perfect working order, and then sell it to other organizations. We’re committed to supporting a circular economy, one that reduces landfill waste by extending the working life of lab equipment. By doing so, we’re part of the global effort to preserve and protect our soil and groundwater. And when you purchase used lab equipment, you’re also making a positive impact. How REUZEit Can Positively Impact the Earth and Your Business   Investing in laboratory equipment for your scientific research is completely a necessary cost, but it doesn’t have to be an expensive one! Money saved on one product can be used to finance another resource that is just as important to your progress. Harness the technology you need to fuel significant scientific research. Whether you’re searching for innovative chemistry lab equipment or looking to replace broken lab equipment, REUZEit offers low-cost solutions that work as hard as you do.

Global Distribution of Used Lab Equipment

From advances in online purchasing to a surge of new clientele, the future of used lab equipment distribution is bright for the informed and well-prepared. Read on for a glimpse into what distributors can expect and incorporate in the coming years of change and growth.  80/20 Will Ring True Amongst large lab equipment manufacturers, most of their revenue comes from a slim portion of their clients. This means that nowadays, when online shopping trumps the art of cold calling, smaller accounts are no longer a primary target since it’s simply too expensive to call on less lucrative leads. Since these smaller customers will continue to be nixed from the radar of large manufacturers, proactive used lab equipment distributors are anticipated to act on the opportunity to gain some market share. We can expect more manufacturers to start leaning towards the pricing and service distinctive of independent distributors. The Rise of Independent Used Lab Equipment Distribution Amazon may have a hold on over 90% of online product searches, though it’s ultimately up to the consumer to find what they’re looking for. Manufacturers are now recognizing the power of independent lab equipment distribution, most notably due to their power in bringing products to market without succumbing to the monopolies of modern healthcare. Additionally, independent distributors typically employ tight-knit teams who nurture and value client relationships - rather than simply hunting down the next best lead.  REUZEit: The All-in-One Solution for Used and Surplus Lab and Medical Equipment Let’s face it, investing in laboratory equipment for your scientific research is a necessary cost. Luckily, we’re committed to providing you with options that you can fit into your budget. Money saved on one product can be used to finance another resource that is just as important to your progress.

How to Afford Lab Equipment on a Tight Budget

Lab equipment is constantly evolving and aiding the research used to make new discoveries in fields such as medicine, biotechnology, and science. As technology advances, the need for more sophisticated equipment inevitably increases, and unfortunately so does the cost. Luckily, there are other methods to obtain the best equipment to meet your needs at the lab without maxing out your budget. Here are some key strategies to help you find affordable lab equipment! Special Offers and Sales When purchasing from lab equipment distributors, make sure to check multiple websites for the item you’re interested in. This allows you to compare prices and figure out which distributor has the best offer. Special offers are typically reserved for older lab supplies rather than new models, but don’t count these out! Just because a piece of lab equipment is older does not mean it is not worth investing in.  Used Lab Equipment Purchasing used laboratory equipment is one of the most budget-friendly ways to stock your lab while still using high-quality lab equipment. This can sometimes be a tricky process, due to the risks associated with potentially faulty equipment. For this reason, we recommend purchasing from a trusted seller that specializes in used lab supplies, like REUZEit. If you decide to purchase used lab equipment, reading our Tips for Buying Used Lab Equipment post is a great way to start.  Refurbished and Surplus Lab Equipment Purchasing refurbished or surplus lab equipment is another option that can save you money. Refurbished equipment is equipment that started to malfunction and was sent back to the manufacturer or vendor for repair. After the repairs have been performed, the item is generally as good as new, in terms of performance. Due to this process, these items are then restocked and sold at a discounted rate. If you’re in need of new models of equipment, this is the best way to get a good price on the newest technology. When a lab or manufacturer has a surplus of science lab equipment, they will either auction it off to another seller or sell it themselves. They often sell it at a discounted rate in order to free up space in their lab or warehouse, or to move the lab equipment quickly. Surplus lab equipment is typically new or lightly used. At REUZEit, you can find tons of surplus lab equipment for sale at discounted prices!  How REUZEit Can Save You Money Investing in laboratory equipment for your scientific research is completely a necessary cost, but it doesn’t have to be an expensive one! Money saved on one product can be used to finance another resource that is just as important to your progress. Harness the technology you need to fuel significant scientific research. Whether you’re searching for innovative chemistry lab equipment or looking to replace broken lab equipment, REUZEit offers low-cost solutions that work as hard as you do.
