Vertical · Lab equipment surplus

Mass specs, centrifuges & diagnostic rigs, scored before the lot closes.

VA hospital decommissioning, university core-lab close-outs, and municipal EMS turn-ins surface mass spectrometers (Agilent GC-MS, Sciex QTRAP, Waters Xevo G2), centrifuges (Beckman Coulter Avanti, Sorvall Lynx, Eppendorf refrigerated), microscopes (Olympus IX73, Leica DMi8, Zeiss Axio Observer), and patient-side diagnostic rigs every week. Lothound scores each lot against a trailing 60-day comparable-sales band — buyer’s premium, freight, and refurb risk already netted — and emails you the breakdown the moment a lot clears your margin threshold.

What we rank in lab surplus

These are the four categories our algorithm currently scores for the lab vertical. Each lot gets its own landed-cost math against trailing 60-day comparable sales — buyer’s premium, freight, and refurb already netted.

Mass spectrometers & analytical rigs

Agilent GC-MS · Sciex QTRAP · Waters Xevo G2

Full diagnostic suites and analytical stacks come up when VA hospitals decommission or university core labs renew. Lothound scores each lot against 60-day comparable sales by model and detector package — so a QTRAP 5500 with a worn source isn’t priced like a clean one.

Centrifuges, incubators & bench support

Beckman Coulter Avanti · Sorvall Lynx · Eppendorf refrigerated

Refrigerated centrifuges, CO₂ incubators, multichannel pipette pallets, and analytical balances clear in pallet lots from university core-lab renewal. Lothound flags compressor-hour risk, rotor recert exposure, and the pallet math before the auction closes.

Microscopes

Olympus IX73 · Leica DMi8 · Zeiss Axio Observer

Research-grade inverted, stereo, and laser-confocal microscopes surface from university surplus and departmental close-outs. Lothound scopes each listing against a model-class comparable-sales band — objective wear, mercury-lamp hours, and stage backlash factored in.

Diagnostic & clinical rigs

Patient monitors · defibrillators · anesthesia & ultrasound carts

Patient monitors, defibrillators, anesthesia carts, and ultrasound carts pull in cluster pallets from VA hospital surplus and municipal EMS turn-ins. Lothound models battery recert, lead-cost, and per-device refurb risk — landed cost already netted.

Live listings · Top scored by landed margin

Scored in real time against trailing comparable sales. Landed cost already includes buyer’s premium, freight, and refurb.
