Short term rental of HPCE

[kst1]

Hi! One of our HPCE has gone down and needs extensive repairs at this point. We are looking at a possible rental unit for the next 2-3 months which is our busy season (grape harvest). Does anyone know of a company which rents out CE? Thank you!

Why not buy a used one ? They are very inexpensive, perhaps less costly than renting one. CE systems have become unpopular with many laboratories over the years so many have put them in storage or sold them off (Please, no flames! Yes, CE units can be useful for specific types of application, but most labs make due with just one system. HPLC systems have much wider application areas).

We regularily see used CE systems come up for sale for pennies on the dollar at lab instrument auctions and even ebay. Yes, ebay. One is listed for sale right now: Item number: 170376596812. **WE have no idea what condition this instrument is in and in no way have anything to do with this seller, nor are recommending this system! I use it only as an example.
