Laboratory Instruments

In order for companies to dispose of their surplus and idle capital assets effectively, it would have to be done through an industry-specific auction. This applies more so for the sale of specialized equipment, such as laboratory instruments and food machines. Dovebid offers this service, as well as other surplus asset management services. DoveBid’s experience of over six decades makes it a leader in bringing liquidity into the market place.

DoveBid’s auction expertise and market knowledge ensures that clients receive maximum return from the disposal of their capital assets. By going through a comprehensive asset preparation process, capital assets such as laboratory instruments are expertly valuated and given adequate exposure by targeted marketing. All major capital assets to be auctioned are digitally photographed and listed online. Extensive marketing is done through print media, such as newspapers, brochures and post cards, as well as on Internet campaigns and through fax and email.

Over and above DoveBid’s auction and valuation services, Dovebid offers clients a Surplus Asset Management program. This program offers complete asset management solutions – from procuring used assets to efficient asset disposal. Many companies have surplus or idle capital assets around the organization. These capital assets can be in the form of surplus laboratory instruments, food vans that are not used, or machinery that has been replaced by a later model. These assets provide no value to the company but are soaking up capital at the same time by taking up warehouse or office space.

With DoveBid’s Surplus Asset Management program, these assets can be systematically identified. Once these assets achieve visibility enterprise-wide, the decisions can be made as to whether they can be redeployed or if it would be more feasible to dispose of them. Laboratory instruments that are not used in one division of a company may be in need elsewhere within the same company. This saves the company from making unnecessary purchases when their existing idle capital assets can be redeployed.

Dovebid also offers various value-added services for buyers. A buyer looking for a specific item can be informed via an email alert once the item becomes available. Because Dovebid is a global company, there are many buyers who wish to make purchases of items across states or countries. Dovebid provides an Inspection Service to assist these buyers. A buyer who cannot personally view laboratory instruments, for example, can opt to have a trained and experienced inspector view the instruments. The inspector will then report back to the prospective buyer with regard to the asset’s condition, specifications and capacity. This service assists remote buyers with their purchasing decisions.
