Help Advance Science
As a research laboratory, isn’t your main goal to further our understanding of science? There are many other aspects of running a lab such as purchasing equipment, supplies, maintaining the personnel but the #1 reason for being there is for the experiments you run. Regardless of the type of lab you run, the data that you collect and analyze will further science in some regard.
Outside of your lab, there are many others doing the same type of work; Startups, University labs and other private run labs. Let’s take into consideration the limitations there are for all of us in this field. Funding first comes to mind and is probably the major obstacle. If funding wasn’t a concern, all of us could purchase new equipment every time the need arises. Unfortunately, this is not the reality of the business. This is why many in the field consider and purchase pre owned equipment.
Taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture...what can you do to help the scientific community as a whole?
The equipment that is no longer in use or you have put to the side is a valuable resource for others less fortunate. The microscope or centrifuge you have in the storage room could be used by another laboratory that isn’t able to buy a new system from the manufacturer. So, instead of having a recycler or scrapping company take your older equipment, why not consider having a company repurpose that equipment and give it new life. Science on Budget can help with this.
Our dedicated team of technicians can repair, test, and validate your older equipment thus being placed back into service at another lab that is in need. And by knowing that you provided your equipment to Science on Budget, you can be proud that you did your part in helping advance science.
