The Cost of Compliance: Food safety regulations (FSMA) are stricter than ever. Setting up an in-house testing lab gives you control over your results and turnaround time. By purchasing Refurbished or Factory Surplus equipment, you can outfit a complete microbiology lab for 50% of the cost of buying new from a catalog.
Hygiene & Surplus Equipment: We understand that "Used" equipment isn't always appropriate for food contact surfaces. That's why we highlight our Factory Surplus inventory—unused, open-box items that meet strict hygiene standards without the "New" price tag.
"We moved our shelf-life testing in-house to save money. HiTechTrader supplied the incubators and water activity meters we needed to get certified. The ROI was instant."— QA Manager, Regional Beverage Manufacturer
Common Questions from Food Scientists
Is your equipment suitable for food grade applications?
We stock many items with 316 Stainless Steel contact parts suitable for food production. For testing equipment (like incubators), our refurbished units are cleaned and tested to ensure they are ready for lab use.
Do you sell New equipment for hygiene reasons?
Yes. We have a large inventory of "New Old Stock" and "Factory Surplus" items. These units have never been used, eliminating concerns about previous cross-contamination.
Can I calibrate the equipment myself?
Most of our QC equipment (like pH meters and balances) can be calibrated by your team using standard buffers or weights. We check basic calibration before shipping to ensure the unit is functional.
