- 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?

- 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 Thermo ABI QuantStudio 6 Pro? 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 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.
