Is your current mass spectrometer limiting your lab’s capabilities? Whether you’re facing performance bottlenecks, rising maintenance costs, or simply ready to scale up, Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Trade-In / Trade-Up Program offers a seamless, cost-effective path to advanced LC-MS technology.

Elevate lab productivity at a lower cost
With the Trade-In program, you can turn your existing LC-MS, HPLC system, or Orbitrap mass analyzer—regardless of brand—into savings toward a newer, more powerful instrument. We’ll evaluate your current system’s residual value and apply it directly to your upgrade, helping you offset the cost while avoiding the hassle of selling, shipping, or decommissioning the old instrument yourself.
