Every laboratory instrument has a lifecycle — but that lifecycle doesn’t need to end when a research program changes, a facility upgrades, or equipment transitions to the next phase of use. For decades, the team behind Fameco supported scientific organizations across Europe by extending the life of high-value analytical instruments. Today, as part of Surplus Solutions, that commitment continues at a global scale.

A Legacy of Sustainability

Fameco’s roots were built on a principle that remains just as relevant now as it was decades ago:
refurbish, restore, and return instruments to discovery.

Through expert refurbishment and rigorous quality processes, Fameco helped laboratories maximize the lifespan of:

• HPLC Systems

• GC/MS & LC/MS Platforms

• Spectroscopy & Chromatography Equipment

• Analytical and Medical Equipment

This work not only protected research investments—it also prevented usable technology from becoming waste.

Scaling Impact Worldwide as Surplus Solutions

Now unified under the Surplus Solutions brand, this sustainability-driven approach is expanding across the U.S., Europe, and global research markets. By offering certified refurbished equipment, we support laboratories in:

• Reducing e-waste and environmental footprint

• Avoiding unnecessary overproduction of new instruments

• Keeping advanced research tools in circulation, where they continue to enable discovery

• Improving access to high-quality equipment at a fraction of the cost of new

Thousands of instruments each year are redirected away from landfills and back into use — powering new experiments, treatments, and scientific breakthroughs.

Sustainability Meets Operational Advantage

Choosing refurbished is not only good for the planet — it’s smart for operations:

The Circular Economy at Work in Science

As research organizations seek meaningful ways to improve sustainability, laboratory assets present one of the most powerful — and often overlooked — opportunities for impact.

When equipment is refurbished rather than discarded, we reduce the demand for new manufacturing, avoid disposal and recycling costs, and support a circular economy in science — where value is preserved, not destroyed.

Shaping a More Sustainable Future, Together

From its origins in Europe to its global presence today, Surplus Solutions continues the work Fameco began:
ensuring that high-performance analytical instruments keep contributing to scientific progress — not environmental waste.

Whether you’re looking to acquire certified refurbished equipment or resell instruments that are no longer in use, our team is here to help.

Together, we can build a more responsible, efficient, and sustainable scientific ecosystem.
