Without appropriate medical lab supplies, a medical laboratory can't run efficiently. However, with all of the different types of laboratory supplies available, picking the best equipment for your medical laboratory can present a challenge.

Be sure to talk to medical lab equipment suppliers or browse supply catalogs to help you get an idea of what you may need to have on hand in your laboratory.

When selecting medical lab equipment, consider:

1. The kinds of medical laboratory devices you need.

2. The medical laboratory equipment supplier and what they can do for you.

3. Using used or refurbished items to help you save money without compromising functionality.

Determine the type of medical laboratory equipment you need and research brands

The type of medical laboratory supplies that you need to have in your lab depends on the type of medical laboratory you have or intend to have. Determine the functions that the laboratory performs, and select the supplies necessary to perform those functions.

Choose from the many medical lab equipment providers available

The number of companies that sell and distribute medical laboratory devices is numerous. Look for good customer service, warranties on the equipment and delivery, and set up services to help you choose a medical lab equipment provider.

Consider refurbished or used medical lab equipment

Purchasing medical laboratory equipment can cost a lot of money. To save some funds, consider purchasing used and refurbished medical lab equipment for your laboratory. These products usually come with warranties and work just as well as brand new products while saving you money.

• Compare and contrast the features and ease of use of any medical laboratory equipment you consider. Often, various products can perform the same tasks, so you need to look at other features to make the best choice for your laboratory.
