Posted by Steede Medical on January 5th, 2021

When you own or run a laboratory, one of the biggest decisions you will ever make is related to the purchase of new equipment. You need to take some time to determine your requirements before you seek laboratory equipment suppliers. Likewise, you should consider the cost of the pieces of equipment you need to make sure that they can be good investments in the long run. Given the number of suppliers around, it can become daunting to pick the right one. That said keep in mind that choosing an established and reputable supplier will ensure the best experience and high-quality products to your lab down the line.

As you go over durable medical equipment suppliers, be sure to look into the following things to learn more about them:

A user-friendly website – Many businesses want to make a good impression every time, and laboratory equipment suppliers are no exception. So, they must have a website that looks good, easy to use, and secure. Consider checking their social media pages, if they have any, to look at reviews.

Professional experience and reputation – They have their own success stories over the years that they have been around. To verify their capability to deliver the right equipment to your lab, find out how they are perceived by their previous customers and determine their reputation in the industry. They should be able to respond promptly to your inquiries, and deliver answers that make sense to your questions.

Product quality – Check for their ISO certifications or make sure they hold an authentic quality management permit.

Warranty – Make sure that the durable medical equipment suppliers offer good warranties with all their products.  Don’t forget to check what is covered, the length of the warranty period, the process and who to contact when making a claim.

After-sales support – Verify the quality of the after sales support from the laboratory equipment suppliers. Should anything go wrong or you require assistance with the product, you should have someone reliable to contact and provide good support.

Servicing – Some equipment may require maintenance and servicing down the line. Some suppliers can give you access to approved service technicians, so you do not have to look further for other third-party service providers.
