Factory-certification process

Achieve your objectives, within budget and without compromise on quality. Our factory-certified program makes industry-leading technology available, while enabling you to meet budgetary restrictions. To help ensure your confidence in performance and satisfaction, we stand behind our re-certified systems and include a 1-year factory warranty with purchase.

Factory assessment

Before instruments enter the re-certification process, each system is thoroughly evaluated to identify necessary updates, upgrades, and modifications. This includes PCB revisions, hardware inspections, and software application updates.

Re-certification

All systems undergo a rigorous, quality-controlled re-certification process. Instruments are disassembled, carefully inspected, and fitted with new parts and software updates as needed. They are then tested to meet the same manufacturing specifications as new instruments.

Installation

Factory-trained Unity Lab Services engineers install each system according to OEM specifications, ensuring reliable performance and rapid readiness for producing high-quality data.


What customers are saying about their factory-certified-refurbished-mass-spectrometers

“Buying a refurbished Q Exactive from Thermo Fisher was the right decision. We got all the right instruments for the applications within the budget. It has solid performance, good mass accuracy, and great resolutions.”
 

Julia C. Guo, Senior Research Scientist,

Global Structure Analytics, BASF Corporation

“A good relationship with instrument vendors and having access to a large repository of application engineers and support personnel made the decision easy. I should say that this already has paid off even though we've had the instrument only for a few months.”
 

 Dr. Bernhard Vogler, Associate Prof. of Chemistry,
University of Alabama in Huntsville
