Testing performed by our in-house service team:
- We powered on and connected to the software
No further testing can be performed; any function selected results in an error screen for unsuccessful communication on the MD1 board. To resolve this error, the instrument will need service from the manufacturer. We anticipate a board swap.
Repair is likely will be under $20,000 (just our guess) and will allow Sony to repair and certify the unit for you, also they can place it on the service agreement so you would end up with a system that has 1-year warranty at less than 35% vs buying it new.
You are welcome to have a Sony engineer inspect it at our premises and provide you with a repair quote. System priced accordingly.

How do you pack? Have you previously packed and shipped Sony LE-SA3800FA Spectral Cell Analyzer? 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.

We understand that every instrument has unique packing and shipping requirements; our team understands that no one wants to spend 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 freight for all larger goods.
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 use 2” 1.7 lb. density foam, which provides excellent cushioning and support for the instrument.
Instruments are safely braced inside the crates. We use solid boards with 1” foam shrink-wrapped around them, which provides cushioning in all directions and holds instruments firmly in place.
Final step is to photograph everything inside the crate and then seal it with screws.
