How much is my surplus lab equipment worth?

Completeness (pumps, detectors, autosampler, columns, ion source), included software and licenses, last-service or PM history, and whether the model is still vendor-supported are the biggest value drivers.

How do I sell my lab equipment?

Send us the make, model, and configuration of your equipment along with photos, or click Get Your Offer. We evaluate completeness, condition, and service history, then send a fast offer.

Where can I sell used lab equipment?

We buy nationwide, not just locally, and cover shipping, so you're not limited to a buyer near you. Send your equipment list and photos and we'll get back to you with an offer.

Do you buy a single instrument or a full lab inventory?

Both. We buy anything from a single microscope or centrifuge to complete lab decommissions and multi-instrument inventories.

Where do I sell Agilent lab equipment?

CBI Surplus buys Agilent instruments along with equipment from Thermo Scientific, Mettler Toledo, Shimadzu, ZEISS, IKA, and other major lab equipment manufacturers.

Exact make, model, and configuration of every module, plus photos of nameplates and the full system

Decommissioning status: still installed, de-installed, or requiring professional de-installation

What affects your offer

Completeness
Pumps, detectors, autosampler, columns, and ion source present as a working stack drives the offer far more than a base unit.
Included Software, Licenses, PCs & Dongles
Instruments that boot into working control software are worth substantially more.
Powers-On / Last-Run & Last-Service Status
A recent tune or PM report on a mass spec is a strong signal.
Model Generation & Vendor Support
Current, still-supported platforms outsell end-of-support models.
Detector Type & Configuration
MS/MS vs. single quad, diode array vs. single wavelength defines the resale market.
Cosmetic Condition & Run Hours
Cosmetic condition, run hours, and whether consumables and accessories are included all factor in.
