Lab Equipment Procurement Intelligence

In this Lab Equipment procurement intelligence report, we have estimated cost of raw materials, labor, machinery & tools, energy, transportation & storage, and other costs as the key components. Other costs include quality assurance, taxes, depreciation, rent & utilities, and administrative expenses.

There are three main ways to acquire lab equipment: buying, leasing, and renting. Purchasing or capital leasing is recommended if the equipment requires a high level of maintenance services because both alternatives provide both standard and specialized maintenance services. Since the equipment will be returned to the lessor at the end of the lease term, operational leases do not include tailored maintenance services.

Manufacturers of lab equipment typically follow a ‘cost-plus’ and ‘competition-based’ pricing model in order to price their products for sale. In the cost-plus pricing model, a margin is added to the product's manufacturing cost to determine the ultimate sale price. Its foundation is the notion that the vendor ought to be able to turn a profit when offering an item or service. Whereas in the competition-based model, the manufacturer sets the price of a product based on the price offered by its competitor for the same product.
