Thermo Fisher · Lab Equipment · $5,000 – $10,000
Used NanoDrop One pricing is driven by hours on the main system and service record continuity. Clean logs and recent calibration can add 15–20% to asking price. Unverified units trade near $5,000; documented A-grade near $10,000.
Three physical checks before purchase: verify the serial number matches paperwork, confirm calibration date within last 12 months, and test all accessories included in the listing. Missing accessories can cost $3,000–$8,000 to replace.
The US pre-owned lab equipment market is most active in metro areas: Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Houston, and Phoenix. TechCosmetic ships nationwide and coordinates local inspection in any major market.
