Balancing CapEx vs. OpEx: For emerging biotech companies, cash flow is king. Purchasing refurbished laboratory equipment allows you to shift funds from Capital Expenditures (equipment) to Operating Expenditures—like hiring top scientists or buying reagents.
The "Agilent Advantage": Older models like the Agilent 1100 Series are still industry standards. They are robust, parts are widely available, and third-party service is accessible compared to proprietary new models.
"HiTechTrader helped us outfit our entire Series A lab for $150k. The same setup new would have cost $400k."— CSO, Biotech Startup (Cambridge, MA)
