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.

What does this mean?

It means we take care of everything. You buy the system and get it delivered, installed on site, if necessary you can get a familiarization and we also take care of warranty and after sales support. We always sell a package of shipment, installation and warranty as we genuinely believe into the equipment we sell and we do not want to leave you alone with any issues potentially arising after installation. And we will not sell you an instrument for which we cannot provide the full range of support! That also means we only handle used mass spectrometers and complete LC-MS systems from Waters, Sciex and ThermoFisher. No Bruker, Agilent or Shimadzu mass spec systems, no ICP-MS, no GC-MS, no MALDI-MS. All the pre-owned systems we sell are fully supported by us and usually located in Europe as we exclusively operate in Europe. 

That also means that our prices sometimes are higher when you compare it to deals on Ebay or bidding platforms. However, there you often bid on instruments in US or Asia. So bringing these instruments to Europe means you pay a couple of thousand Euros for transportation, ~20%VAT and you have to take care of installation (usually another few thousand Euros). These additional costs can add up to 20-25 k€ for a 50 k€ instrument and suddenly the deal is not that great anymore. When buying from MS Vision you know the costs upfront. And warranty from a dealer in US or China? Usually not. If something doesn’t work you’re on your own. In addition, mass spectrometers are often categorized as so-called dual use items. That means for export, in particular form US, there is a lot of paperwork involved including end-user certificates, etc. Do you want to risk all that with a 50-200k€ investment?
