Research instruments with a next chapter

A programme may end while its instruments still have work to do. We review equipment from research laboratories, with attention to the experimental setup and the people responsible for its release.

01 / Equipment scope

Imaging and microscopy

Describe the microscope body alongside the installed imaging hardware. Objectives, cameras, stages, illumination and control computers can be as important to the configuration as the instrument name.

Useful details: Body model; objectives; cameras; stage; control software.

02 / Equipment scope

Cell analysis

For a flow cytometer or sorter, identify the exact model and configuration from your records. Include the current operating status and which fluidics, computer and supporting components are available.

Useful details: System configuration; accessories; last use; service information.

03 / Equipment scope

Molecular research

Sequencing, PCR and sample-preparation equipment may be released together during a workflow change. Explain which instruments were used together and which are being retained for ongoing work.

Useful details: Workflow role; model; computer; associated preparation equipment.

04 / Equipment scope

Analytical research platforms

Mass spectrometry and spectroscopy installations often span more than one bench. Send an overview of the entire setup and a list of included modules, not only a photograph of the main cabinet.

Useful details: Main instrument; separation system; supporting modules; workstation.

An enquiry is a review, not an automatic offer

Suitability depends on the individual model, configuration, condition and proposed scope. Tell us what is known and what needs checking. The categories on this page describe equipment we consider; they are not a claim that every instrument can be purchased.
