Before buying used lab equipment, check five things: the exact model and year of manufacture, its condition and what was tested, which accessories are included, whether service and spare parts exist locally, and what the offer covers (condition, transport and installation). Good used lab equipment saves a lot of money and lead time, as long as you know what you are getting.
Ask for the full model from the rating plate and the serial number. With them you can check the specification on the manufacturer site, whether the model is still supported and which spare parts exist.
Lab instruments often depend on accessories: centrifuge rotors, microscope objectives, adapters, software and cables. Confirm what is included and what you would need to buy separately.
Check whether there is a local agent or technician for the model and what calibration and maintenance cost. For instruments that need calibration (balances, pipettes, spectrophotometers), plan it after purchase.
