A few days ago, when a government unit purchased an analytical instrument, it chose an imported brand instead of a domestic brand, and gave a detailed comparison of technical indicators for the choice of reasons. The final conclusion is that domestic products in instrument stability, sensitivity, detection limits, reproducibility and other aspects are still unable to meet the requirements of the purchaser, imported products can meet the requirements of the purchaser, so the purchase of imported brands.
Choosing the most suitable instrument for your own use is a problem that all analysts and units will face. How to choose and balance between performance and price is a difficult problem that troubles most purchasing personnel.
So what should we do when shopping for instruments? Import? Domestic? The budget is not high, but the experimental requirements are high, how to break?
In fact, we have a third option: import used instruments! Enjoy the performance of imported instruments at the price of domestic instruments!
