Investing in analytical instrumentation is a major decision. This is especially true for labs managing tight budgets, unpredictable workloads, or evolving testing needs. That’s why more lab managers and directors are turning to refurbished instrument rental programs as a smart, low-risk way to access the tools they need now. And they accomplish this without committing to a large capital expense right away.
At Quantum Analytics, we offer a unique rental-with-equity program designed specifically for refurbished analytical instruments. It’s a powerful “try before you buy” solution that gives you flexibility today and ownership potential tomorrow.
Refurbished instruments already offer significant savings, which is often 40% to 60% less than the cost of a new system. But in today’s climate of tightened budgets and conservative spending, even discounted capital purchases can be hard to justify. That’s where rental programs become so valuable.
When renting refurbished analytical instruments, your lab can operate with high-quality instruments at a lower upfront cost while you assess their performance and long-term fit. This reduces procurement risk and helps preserve your cash flow, all while keeping your lab productive and competitive.
A rental-with-equity program allows you to rent refurbished analytical instruments for a defined period – typically 6 to 12 months – while applying a portion of each monthly rental payment toward ownership.
It works like this:
This structure bridges the gap between renting and owning, offering the benefits of both.
Here are some common scenarios where renting refurbished analytical instruments with the option to buy makes strategic sense:
In all these situations, renting refurbished instrumentation gives you the speed and flexibility your lab needs. Further, you don’t risk compromising on quality or draining your budget.
Understanding the difference between these two options can help you make the best choice for your lab’s needs:
| Your Goal | Best Option | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Keep monthly costs as low as possible | Standard Rental | Lowest rates since there’s no buyout option; ideal for short-term use. |
| Try before committing to a purchase | Rental-with-Equity | Portion of rental payments go toward ownership if you decide to keep the system. |
If you expect to keep the instrument after the trial period, the rental-with-equity path saves you money in the long run while giving your lab time to confirm the fit.
Not all rental programs are created equal—and very few offer the option to rent refurbished analytical instruments. At Quantum Analytics, we’ve built our rental-with-equity program specifically around refurbished models from leading brands like Agilent Technologies.
