What are you
trying to discover?
Two laboratories can want the same instrument for very different reasons. Give us the application behind the enquiry. It helps identify which configuration details deserve a closer look.
Quantitation & routine workflows
For teams considering LC-MS/MS and related analytical systems, the useful conversation starts with the analytes, sample matrix and method requirements.
BRING TO THE BRIEFTarget compounds, throughput, current methods and required interfaces.
Proteomics & molecular profiling
When you are exploring high resolution platforms, discuss the acquisition workflow, sample introduction and data environment together. The instrument and the way your lab will use it need to be considered as a system.
BRING TO THE BRIEFResearch objective, acquisition needs, front end preferences and analysis software.
Chromatography & method development
A chromatography enquiry becomes more useful when it includes the required modules and workflow. Pumps, sample handling, detection and the intended connection to other instruments can change the configuration you need.
BRING TO THE BRIEFSeparation method, detector needs, sample capacity and system compatibility questions.
Microscopy & biological imaging
For imaging equipment, start with the specimen and the experiment. Objectives, illumination, detectors, stages and software may each matter to the work you want to perform.
BRING TO THE BRIEFSample type, imaging approach, required accessories and existing lab infrastructure.

Connected to the world.
Connected to the world.
World class instruments.
A worldwide outlook.
Science crosses borders. So does the market for great equipment. SIB Scientific works with laboratories worldwide to connect instrument requirements with preowned equipment opportunities. Tell us where your laboratory is, what you need and when you need it.
International equipment sourcing involves more than the instrument itself. Configuration, documentation, packing, freight and destination requirements belong in the same discussion. Bring your sourcing, logistics and documentation questions into one conversation.
Your purchasing process
Help us understand how your organisation buys equipment and what needs to be in the proposal.
- Buyer entity and billing details
- Required quotation or vendor documentation
- Budget context and internal approval timeline
Your delivery destination
Share enough detail to discuss the practical movement of the equipment and the responsibilities involved.
- Destination country, city and receiving address
- Access, unloading and receiving constraints
- Packing, freight and insurance questions
Your arrival plan
Clarify how the equipment will be received, positioned and brought into use by your team or chosen providers.
- Site readiness and utility requirements
- Installation or service arrangements to investigate
- Import documentation and responsibilities, where relevant
A useful first message: “We need [instrument or application], with [essential configuration], for delivery to [location]. Our purchasing requirements are [details], and our preferred timing is [timeframe].”
Start with your brief07 / THE QUESTIONS THAT MATTERBefore the
Before the
next step.
Can you help if we know the application but not the model?
Yes. Start the conversation with the application, sample type, essential capabilities and budget context. We can use that brief to discuss equipment options and the technical questions your team should resolve before choosing a system.
How do I enquire about an instrument?
Choose an instrument in the catalogue and select Enquire, or send us the model name through the contact form.
What does “included” mean for a complete system?
The quotation lists the instrument and included equipment. Tell us which modules, accessories, computer and software your laboratory needs.
Can we request condition evidence or an inspection?
Contact our team with the instrument name and the inspection or operating information you would like to discuss.
Can we discuss a purchase for a laboratory outside the US?
Yes. We work with laboratories worldwide. Share your destination and receiving requirements to discuss packing, transport and documentation.
Can our AI sourcing assistant start the conversation?
Yes. Your assistant can read our structured inventory and send an authorized enquiry through our API or MCP endpoint. Both routes create a private deal reference for follow up and team review.
