Laboratories often hesitate to incorporate reconditioned parts due to misconceptions about their quality and reliability.
But this is far from the truth – when sourced from a trusted provider, reconditioned products offer the same level of performance and longevity as new ones, while providing significant cost savings – often up to 70%.
In this blog, we aim to debunk these myths and demonstrate why LC Services’ reconditioned parts programme is a dependable solution for your lab.
A common belief is that reconditioned parts don’t last as long as new ones.
However, when properly refurbished and tested, reconditioned parts can perform just as reliably and efficiently as their new counterparts.
At LC Services, all our refurbished products undergo thorough inspections and are tested to meet approved specifications.
This meticulous process guarantees not only quality and performance but also reliability, ensuring that the reconditioned parts have lifespans comparable to new components.
Some assume that opting for reconditioned parts means forfeiting warranty protection and support services.
Contrary to this belief, many companies, such as LC Services, offer a 6-month warranty on all reconditioned parts, providing you with peace of mind.
Additionally, our expert team is available to offer ongoing support, ensuring that any concerns are promptly addressed.
There’s a misconception that reconditioned parts are inferior in quality.
In reality, reconditioned parts from a trusted supplier go through strict testing and quality assurance, ensuring they meet original equipment manufacturer (OEM) performance standards.
At LC Services, our commitment to quality assurance means that labs can trust reconditioned parts to deliver dependable, high-performing solutions.
Another myth is that reconditioned parts are obsolete and won’t work with current laboratory instruments.
In fact, you often get more variety and availability compared to new parts, especially for legacy equipment no longer supported by OEMs.
At LC Services, we regularly stock reconditioned parts compatible with various chromatography brands, including autosampler parts, flow cells, and injectors.
This extensive inventory ensures that labs can find the necessary components to keep their equipment running smoothly.
It’s often thought that reconditioned parts lose value more quickly than new ones.
However, because reconditioned parts are available at a fraction of the cost of new parts, they offer significant cost savings.
This affordability, combined with their proven reliability, means that reconditioned parts provide excellent value over time.
By dispelling these myths, we hope to instil confidence in laboratories considering reconditioned parts.
Not only do they offer a cost-effective solution, but they also help reduce waste by giving faulty or unwanted equipment a new lease of life – minimising landfill and supporting a more sustainable approach to lab operations.
LC Services’ dedication to quality assurance and customer support ensures that our reconditioned parts are a practical and environmentally friendly alternative to new equipment, helping labs maintain high performance while optimising budgets.
With our Reconditioned Parts Programme, you benefit from low-buy risk, extended lifespan, faster lead times, minimal depreciation, and cost savings.
You also have the option to purchase a reconditioned part and send us your faulty one, where we’ll either credit the difference against a future purchase or refund the difference.
