Sample preparation

Sample preparation is the set of laboratory steps that bring a raw specimen into the state an analysis or a reaction requires, covering mixing, thermal cycling, shaking, homogenisation and the handling that precedes measurement. The Questpair catalogue holds 12536 sample preparation listings from 19 verified suppliers and distributors across 19 countries, in new, used and refurbished condition. Of those, 96 percent are used, the remainder new, which tells a buyer at once that this is a market built mainly on second-hand instruments. Prices run from EUR 1 to EUR 387.400, a range that stretches from a single small accessory to a fully equipped automated workstation.
