CBI Surplus

Sell Surplus Lab and Scientific Equipment

Analytical instruments have configuration-specific resale markets: a complete, working system with its software, columns, and detectors is worth multiples of a bare chassis. Labs, CROs, biotech startups, and universities actively buy refurbished chromatography and mass-spec systems, which is why LC-MS, GC-MS, HPLC, and mass spectrometers are the most in-demand surplus we buy.

What affects your offer

Completeness: pumps, detectors, autosampler, columns, and ion source present as a working stack drives the offer far more than a base unit.

Included software, licenses, PCs, and dongles: instruments that boot into working control software are worth substantially more.

Powers-on / last-run and last-service status; a recent tune or PM report on a mass spec is a strong signal.

Model generation & vendor support: current, still-supported platforms outsell end-of-support models.

Detector type & configuration (MS/MS vs. single quad, diode array vs. single wavelength) defines the resale market.

Cosmetic condition, run hours, and whether consumables and accessories are included.

Common questions

What to send

  • Exact make, model, and configuration of every module, plus photos of nameplates and the full system.
  • Whether it powers on and runs, when it was last serviced/PM'd, and the most recent tune or performance report.
  • Everything included: software/licenses, control PC, columns, detectors, ion source, accessories, and manuals.
  • Decommissioning status: still installed, de-installed, or requiring professional de-installation.
