Refurbished Pipettes
One of the pipette companies had a *mini* vendor show here the other day. As everyone probably knows, I don’t think very highly of pipette calibration companies. This company, however, also sells different brands of new pipettes as well as refurbished ones.
Since we have way too many pipettes in the lab to replace them all with new ones, I’m thinking about getting some refurbished ones. The price is a lot less than new pipettes and the refurbished pipettes have a 90 day guarantee.
I figure I’ll try one new set and see how it goes.

I can’t speak to pipettes, but when it comes to high end analytical instrumentation such as mass spectrometry instrumentation, refurbished pre-owned instrumentation can be a great savings at less cost …. as long as the refurbishment protocol is conducted from the inside-out …the initial audit and inspection, service history and previous applications can be telling, as well as the inspection of mechanical, electronic, pneumatic and hydraulics.
