Sell a used HPLC or UHPLC system

Complete stacks, and the individual modules that come loose when a lab consolidates. Both have a market and both are worth more than they usually fetch at auction.

What we buy in this category

Complete stacks Pump, sampler, column thermostat, detector and workstation.

Individual modules Quaternary and binary pumps, autosamplers and multisamplers, diode array and other detectors, column ovens.

Brands Agilent, Shimadzu, Waters and Thermo Scientific.

Support gear Solvent cabinets, controllers and the accessories that ship with a stack.

Condition Working, in need of service, or as-is.

Two ways to work with us

Pick whichever gives you the cleaner recovery on a given asset. We will tell you honestly which one that is.

Sell outright We buy the instrument directly. A firm offer and payment on pickup, with no waiting for a buyer and no marketing on your end.

Consignment You keep title until it sells. We photograph, verify, list and market it through our buyer network, then take a margin. Usually a higher net than auction.

Off-lease remarketing For lessors and dealers with returned or repossessed units: a turnkey channel that de-installs, verifies and sells.

How it runs

Tell us what you have Model number, and photographs if you have them. A configuration list if you do not.
We review it Priced by people who have serviced these platforms in the field, against what the system is actually worth today.
A firm offer Within two business days of review. Outright purchase, or consignment if that nets you more.
We handle the logistics De-installation, crating and insured freight by our team. Nothing lands on yours.

Why sell here

An instrument is worth what someone who understands it will pay. Our bench has serviced these platforms in the field, so a valuation here is a technical judgement rather than a guess against a catalogue price.

Auction is the usual alternative and it is rarely the better one. It sets no floor, it costs you the logistics, and it prices a system that nobody has verified. We handle de-installation, verification and freight, and typically return more with none of that landing on your team.

Loose modules are the category most often written off internally. A single pump or detector that a lab treats as scrap is a live part of somebody else’s stack, and it is worth asking before it goes in a skip.

Common questions

Will you take a single module rather than a whole stack?

Yes. Pumps, samplers, detectors and column ovens all sell individually, and we list them that way.

Is it worth selling an older Infinity or LC series system?

Often, yes. Demand for well-maintained previous-generation stacks is steady, because they do routine analysis perfectly well at a fraction of new pricing.

How are modules valued?

By model number, configuration and condition, priced by people who have serviced them. Photographs and serial numbers make that faster and more accurate.

Do you buy systems that are not currently installed?

Yes. Crated, in storage, or still on the bench are all fine. Tell us where it is and we handle the collection.

Send a model number to start

A model number and a photograph are enough for a first read. Serial numbers and a configuration list speed the offer up.
