VIEW SOME OF THE CUSTOMERS WE HELPED HERE
WHY DO CUSTOMERS MAKING CRITICAL LAB PURCHASES CHOOSE TO ORDER FLOW CYTOMETERS FROM US?
They want to ensure the cytometer undergoes full fluidics system decontamination, flushing, and inspection to protect the valves and flow sensors from damage.
They want to ensure the cytometer has no residual sheath salt buildup in the flow cell, which could skew scatter data and, and if improperly cleaned, can damage the flow cell.
They want to confirm that all detectors, including forward scatter (FSC) and side scatter (SSC) detectors, can be aligned and calibrated for particle sizing and granularity resolution.
They want assurance that baseline performance has been verified using standardized particles, with data or log files available for review.
They want to confirm that electronic noise and EMI levels at the detector/amplifier stage remain within tolerance and will not distort signal fidelity.
They want to ensure that no fiber optic cables are missing, misrouted, or defective, which can lead to diminished fluorophore excitation or signal dropout.
They want to confirm that no power degradation or misalignment in laser paths is detected through precise mW-level measurement at the final optics output.
They want to ensure that optical filters and dichroic mirrors have been inspected for delamination, spectral shift, or contamination that could compromise signal specificity.
They want to ensure the sample flow rate is linear and stable across a full range of flow settings, verified with volumetric calibration and pressure profiling.
They want to ensure the system passes automated QC and performance tracking with reproducible CVs for bead standards across multiple channels.
They want to ensure the fluidics pump assembly does not exhibit pulsation, drift, or backpressure due to check valve wear or micro-leaks.
They want peace of mind, knowing their instrument is backed by a warranty from a company that can stand behind it.

We invite you to visit our facility for an on-site demo, or you can request a virtual Zoom demo of the instrument you are interested in.
What about the warranty? Installation, training, maintenance?
Warranty Terms:
- The instrument comes fully warranted for both parts and labor.
- The customer should retain all packing materials during the warranty period.
What should I watch out for when buying a BD FACSLyric Flow Cytometer used/pre-owned from another lab?
- Make sure the instrument is properly packed for shipping and will arrive safely. If the instrument is large, request to have it packed in a wooden crate.
- Confirm that there is no physical damage or any misaligned internal components.
- Ask what accessories are included.
- Ask how long the warranty is and what it covers.
Here is what our technical team tests so you can request something similar and ensure your instrument will be fully functional.

- POs are accepted from US and Canadian universities.
How fast will you ship?
- We can ship within a few days to two weeks. Shipping time depends on the current demand for our instruments. Members of our sales team will be able to offer current delivery estimates.
Will my instrument be insured during shipping?
- All instruments shipped within the USA and internationally are fully insured. This applies as long as we are the shipper and handle shipping arrangements.
- If the buyer handles shipping, the responsibility for shipping insurance falls to the buyer; we highly advise that the buyer obtain shipping insurance from their carrier.
How do you pack? Have you previously packed and shipped BD FACSLyric Flow Cytometer? Do you ship Internationally?
Packing
- Smaller instruments ship via UPS Parcel Delivery with adequate packing material and a strong box. Or, when combined with other orders, it may be packed in a crate.
- Most larger instruments ship in fully enclosed ISPM15-certified wooden crates with proper padding underneath, and the sides have moving components braced.
- Accessories are packed safely in boxes with padding and then safely packed inside the crate.
- We may not use a crate for local deliveries to save you money *if delivered by us.
- We often use “tilt’ & “shock” indicators on the crates to ensure the crate has not been excessively tilted and dropped where equipment may suffer damage.
- Photos are taken during the packing process to make sure nothing is missed.
USA/Canada Shipping
- Within the US and Canada, we will ship via selected freight carriers. We do not use low-price/high-damage carriers as we want the equipment to get safely to you.
International Shipping
- Internationally, we will only ship via Air Freight or Air Parcel (such as UPS or DHL), which provides reliability, no exposure to Ocean weather, and timely delivery.
We have extensive experience packing and shipping fragile instruments globally.
Our experience and process
- We have safely packed and shipped thousands of sensitive analytical instruments.
How much will I save buying it pre-owned, and is it worth it?
A lot, and it is undoubtedly worth it, and here is why. Feel free to ask for feedback from hundreds of customers who bought from us.
- You will pay less than half the cost of buying a new instrument. Why not spend the leftover funds on another instrument for your lab?
- You will get our standard warranty, plus, when available, an option to obtain an extended warranty agreement.
- Know that your instrument was tested and working the day it left our facility and that it is covered if there are faults.
- Get extra peace of mind by adding an extended warranty or service agreement when such an option is available.
Sustainability
- Well, this one is easy: buying a pre-owned instrument is great for the planet; you are reducing unnecessary waste, CO2 output, and water use that would be used during the manufacturing process.
I have more questions; I want to receive a formal quote.
Absolutely! Please give us a call (1-617-397-3486) or complete this form to get your questions answered or receive a formal Quote.
We understand that every instrument has unique packing and shipping requirements; our team understands that no one wants to spend tens of thousands of dollars and receive a damaged instrument.
Our process involves evaluating every instrument to determine the safest shipping method and the best process for packing.
We generally ship parcels either via UPS or via freight for all larger instruments.
Whenever we ship freight, we use an ISPM-15 wooden crates or pallets made from ½” plywood and 1x4 framing. (Our crates are Internationally Compliant). On freight shipments, we also use dense foam, which provides excellent cushioning and support for the instrument. Instruments then are safely braced inside the crates. We use solid boards with 1” foam shrink-wrapped around them, which provide cushioning in all directions and hold instruments firmly in place.
Final step is to we photograph everything inside the crate and then seal it with screws.
