INFORMATION: RECYCLING LAB EQUIPMENT
Following our call for information on charities or organisations that recycle or repatriate UK laboratory equipment for overseas use we received very little information. However, Aquila Diagnostics are dealers in used laboratory equipment and would be interested to hear from anyone wishing to dispose of unwanted equipment. You could also try Rich-mond and Labequip. If anyone has old or historical valuable equipment the IBMS Historical Committee would like to hear from you - please contact Alex Cochrane on alex.cochrane@usa.net.
