Buying Used Scientific Equipment: University Customer Testimonials


Posted by bmi_admin
At BMI Surplus, Inc., we strive to provide quality new and used scientific equipment at a great price along with outstanding customer service. We would like to share some testimonials from our customers.

“When I need an optical table I always go to www.bmius.com first, the reason is simple, tables are expensive and don’t change much with age, so new and used are pretty much identical.. Except for the price.. And BMI Surplus, Inc will charge you just the right amount of money and do not gouge on shipping.  Furthermore they often have the obscure or unusual size and shape which costs a fortune new, and a whole lot less used.  BMI Surplus, Inc. provides a great service at a great price.” Simon Watkins Ph.D, Professor and Vice Chair Cell Biology, Professor Immunology, Director Center for Biologic Imaging,University of Pittsburgh.

“We bought vacuum chambers from BMI surplus. The quality of the items purchased was excellent. The shipping and handling was done properly. Customer service was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and efficient. We visited the warehouse before purchasing our items. The building is well stocked. All products are sorted by categories. They are well stored, away from dust and rain. Because of great quality and service, we recommend doing business with BMI Surplus.” Pierre-Alexandre Gourdain, Laboratory of Plasma Studies, School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Cornell University.

“Bought an optical table and optical base from BMI for $2500 in March 2013. I couldn’t have been more pleased with the purchase. They were very willing to work with my limited budget. Swift service. Table arrived within a week, and was in excellent condition. Overall great service and would highly recommend to anyone interested.” Prof. Vidhya Chakrapani,Department of Chemical & Biological Engineering, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

We could go on, but we would just be bragging!

When buying used test equipment, often the power cords are not included. BMI Surplus carries an extensive selection of new and used Plugs, Wires, and Cables to help meet your needs.

We have a great selection of  Interpower Cords all BRAND NEW, including Interpower IEC 60320 Cord Sets and extenders.  These appliance couplers are used with many different pieces of used test equipment worldwide.  With a voltage rating of up to 250 VAC, the Interpower cord sets come with different connectors, AWG sizes, and lengths.  The connector types we carry include IEC 60320-C19, IEC 60320-C13 and others.  We also have jumper cords to extend the length of your cables like the BRAND NEW Interpower 86557060 three meter jumper cord.

Did you know, power cords used for  electronic test equipment vary greatly? This is further complicated by the differing electrical standards used internationally. European plug sizes, shapes, and voltage requirements are different from those in North America and Japan.  Any attempt to standardize electrical systems internationally would be an enormous undertaking.  The vast variety of plugs, sockets and cords needed to address the differing electrical systems will likely be with us for quite some time.

Whether you are looking for used electronic test equipment,  or the electronic components that make them work, check out the vast electronic equipment inventory at BMI Surplus.

Leitz Toolmakers Microscope SKU 37315

 

Microscopes can be classified into different groups by the type of work they are designed to handle.  Biological microscopes are well known for their ability to magnify objects related to health and science.  These microscopes are widely used in schools and hospitals.  Manufacturers can utilize Material Science Microscopes to look at micro-structure, composition and chemical states.  Quality control and inspection needs can be met through the use of Metrology Microscopes, and Stereo Microscopes address the need for less expensive inspection applications and biological science applications where lower magnification is desired.

Large Variety of Used Microscopes at BMI Surplus!

BMI Surplus has a great selection of used microscopes and new and used microscope components in stock from Bausch & Lomb, Zeiss, Wild, Leitz, Nikon, Olympus, Unitron, Gaertner, and many more.  Each used microscope listing has details and images but we are always willing to accommodate questions or special requests for more information.We have a qualified microscope technician.

We currently have a very fine Zeiss Toolmakers Microscope with light sectioning capability.  This microscope was used to inspect the sharpness of steel blades.  We also carry a Leitz Toolmaker Microscope complete with video camera and screen.  

For biological science applications, we feature a Nikon Labophot-2 Microscope.  This sturdy, versatile used microscope offers research-level performance and a modular system that makes it highly useful for clinical, biological, industrial, and educational laboratories.
