At MS Vision we also sell and buy second-hand lab equipment, in particular mass spectrometry systems from Waters, Thermo Fisher and Sciex. Being specialized on only these three manufacturers we can source and offer used 4500, 5500 and 6500 Triplequads and QTraps for sale in excellent condition.

Whether you are looking for a high resolution mass spec system or a new triplequad/QqQ/Qtrap for quantitation: all our systems are checked and refurbished in-house, specified at manufacturers specifications and shipped and installed by specialized movers and our own experienced service specialist.

Every system comes with installation and a 3 months warranty, longer warranties and various types of after sales support are available on request as well.

Buying a used LC-MS- or mass spectrometry system has several advantages:

Apart from being more eco friendly, our pre-owned mass spectrometer offer you a much better return of investment due to lower purchasing costs than new systems. As these systems are also proven in their usage, you can easily find established methods, the software compatibility to your existing instruments is ensured and the shortcomings of a particular model are already known.

Why buying a second-hand Sciex mass spectrometer from MS Vision?

When buying a pre-owned mass spectrometer from MS Vision, you’ll get much more than just a box. Our approach is to sell quality.

Our service engineers have many years of experience with Sciex mass spectrometry systems and many of them have been senior FSE’s from Sciex. We know these systems in detail and have a vast stock of spare parts, in particular for older systems like the 3000, 4000 and 5000 series. But we also support Blueline (4500, 5500, 6500 and 7500 QTrap and API) as well as TripleTOF (4600, 5600 and 6600) and ZenoTOF (7600).

So you do not just buy a second-hand instrument – you buy a wealth of support expertise around it as well!

For buying systems, we are currently primarily interested in the following models of used mass spectrometers or complete LC-MS systems:

Waters:

Synapt G2/G2-S/G2-Si
Xevo TQ-S/TQ-XS

Sciex:

5500 QTrap/API
6500 QTrap/API
6500+ QTrap/API

ThermoFisher:

Q Exactive classic/plus/HF
Exploris series
Fusion Lumos/ Eclipse (preferably with Biopharma upgrade, ETD/PTCR and UVPD)
We are not buying or selling LTQ Orbitrap classic/focus/Velos/Velos Pro instruments anymore! These systems turned out to be to unstable once decomissioned and re-installed. However, we are fully supporting running systems for the foreseeable future. LTQ Orbitrap Elite systems are sometimes bought as spare parts donors.
