SIB Diagnostics / Equipment purchasing

Clinical laboratory equipment for purchase review

An analyzer transition involves equipment, institutional approvals and site preparation. Describe the exact system and its status so those separate questions can be handled in the right order.

01 / Equipment scope

Chemistry and immunoassay

Include the analyzer model and the modules that make up the installation. Note any linked automation, computers or supporting equipment and identify what is available together.

Useful details: Analyzer; modules; automation; computer; retirement timing.

02 / Equipment scope

Hematology

Identify the exact analyzer and associated sample-handling equipment. Describe current use, known faults and the maintenance records available for review.

Useful details: Model; sampler; condition; last use; service dates.

03 / Equipment scope

Molecular diagnostics

PCR and genetic-analysis platforms should be listed with their installed options, blocks or modules and associated computers. Keep patient and sample information out of enquiry materials.

Useful details: Platform; installed options; workstation; equipment status.

04 / Equipment scope

Microbiology and laboratory support

For identification, susceptibility or culture-analysis equipment, send the exact make and model and describe the accompanying modules. An equipment category alone does not establish purchase suitability.

Useful details: Model; accessories; modules; current condition; location.

An enquiry is a review, not an automatic offer

Suitability depends on the individual model, configuration, condition and proposed scope. Tell us what is known and what needs checking. The categories on this page describe equipment we consider; they are not a claim that every instrument can be purchased.
