Renting Analytical Instruments

Often laboratories find themselves facing new projects or increased demand for testing services. When these situations arise, many labs turn to rent analytical instruments. 

Short-term rentals typically last anywhere from a few days to several months, but rarely go beyond a year.  

Between being cost-effective and productivity-enhancing, renting analytical instrumentation is a fantastic way to supplement your current suite of laboratory instrumentation. They can cut costly downtime, reduce maintenance tasks, and make your equipment costs more manageable.  

Short-term rentals may be just the ticket to supplement a lab’s existing workflow and get the extra work done without delays. It can allow you to take on more jobs or more effectively manage any excess. 

Renting Analytical Instruments for Short-Term Projects 

There are several reasons a laboratory might investigate a short-term rental. The one we’ll explore here is short-term projects. 

There might also be a project where a lab requires a specific piece of equipment — but paying for the instrument for just one job isn’t usually cost-effective, especially for small businesses. A short-term rental can provide you with the analytical instrument you need without the upfront cost of equipment that you’ll rarely use. 

Before buying a new instrument or replacing an existing one, many labs like to rent an analytical instrument before making their capital purchase. A lab might do this when their current instrument is in disrepair or is out of date. Because there is often a range of models and different techniques to choose from, it can be difficult to make final decisions without using the equipment first. With short-term rentals, lab managers and operators can learn more about a particular analytical instrument before making a significant commitment. 

Benefits of Renting Analytical Instruments 

Short-term rentals can do more for you than fill in a gap. They also come with a myriad of benefits.  

Renting doesn’t involve high upfront investments, depreciation, maintenance costs, or other complicated budget considerations. Many business owners enjoy rentals because the costs are predictable and manageable. For many smaller laboratories, renting analytical instruments is easier on their bottom line because of the reduced maintenance and ease of budgeting. 

One of the times when many businesses use short-term rentals is while repairing, servicing, or replacing equipment. Short-term rentals can be a lifesaver in many laboratories. While your lab equipment is being repaired, short-term rentals can help you get the job done conveniently and easily. 

Repairs, although a necessary reality in all aspects of equipment ownership, can be incredibly inconvenient in a busy lab. Bringing your lab operations to a halt can cost you considerable time and money. Short-term rentals can keep your lab moving and help you do more without interrupting your timeline. You don’t have to pause critical testing work while waiting for repairs or for a part to get shipped, whether that’s half of a day or several days, or weeks. Even just a few hours can make a significant difference in your project schedule. Short-term rentals save you from extensive downtime and a loss of momentum in the laboratory. 

When you rent, you typically don’t have to worry about potential repair costs. Manufacturer-trained engineers of the rental company replace any worn-out parts. This offers peace of mind and drops the stress that comes with fixing a down instrument when you are relying on it for your testing needs.
