We buy and consign

Sell a used LC-MS or LC-MS/MS system

Triple quad, QTRAP, Q-TOF and Orbitrap. Whether a lab is closing, downsizing or upgrading, we buy or remarket the system and handle the logistics.

What we buy in this category

Triple quadrupole Complete systems with an LC front end, and mass-spectrometer-only units.
QTRAP and linear ion trap Including hybrid configurations.
Q-TOF and Orbitrap High-resolution platforms, with or without the LC.
Brands Agilent, Shimadzu, SCIEX, Waters and Thermo Scientific.
Condition Working, in need of service, or as-is. Tell us which and it is priced accordingly.

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

  1. Tell us what you have Model number, and photographs if you have them. A configuration list if you do not.
  2. We review it Priced by people who have serviced these platforms in the field, against what the system is actually worth today.
  3. A firm offer Within two business days of review. Outright purchase, or consignment if that nets you more.
  4. 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.

One thing worth knowing before you list an LC-MS anywhere: the software licence is part of the value. Whether it transfers with the instrument changes what a buyer will pay, so it is worth establishing your position before the first conversation rather than during the last one.

Common questions

Will you buy a mass spectrometer without the LC?

Yes. Mass-spectrometer-only units have a real market. The price differs from a complete system because a buyer has to source a front end, so tell us exactly what is included.

How fast is an offer?

A firm offer within two business days of review. Photographs and serial numbers speed the review up.

Do I have to arrange de-installation?

No. De-installation, crating and insured freight are handled by our team.

What if the instrument does not currently run?

We still want to hear about it. A system needing service is priced as such rather than turned away, and our bench does the work in house.

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.
