Used equipment is the larger half of what we do. Our stock changes every week and covers general lab equipment, analytical systems, and clinical and biotech equipment, from single instruments to everything a new lab needs.
We’re a family run business in Chorley, Lancashire, and we’ve been buying and selling lab equipment for over 30 years. Call us on 01257 270 433 if you can’t see what you need.
Our specialist engineers make sure refurbished equipment is up to scratch before it's sold.
Items marked with the Richmond Promise come with a 30-day money back guarantee if they're not working or arrive damaged.
