“Our Flow Cytometry Core Facility recently bought a used BD Fusion cell sorter from Certified Genetool, Inc., and couldn’t be happier!
The instrument looks and functions like a new instrument. The entire team was friendly and great to work with and they made sure everything was installed and functioning properly.
Very knowledgeable, trustworthy and caring company! It is so helpful for our core facility to have a great company that we can rely on for obtaining quality used equipment and instrument service as an alternative to only the OEM option!”

- Why Third-Party or Refurbished Parts?
- Cost Savings: Using certified third-party or pre-tested components from donor units can reduce costs by up to 80% compared to OEM pricing—especially for high-wear items or discontinued models.
- Performance Assurance: All third-party parts we use are rigorously inspected, tested, and validated against OEM specifications to ensure reliable performance and compatibility.
- Sustainability: Reusing quality parts contributes to a more sustainable approach by extending the life of high-performance instruments and reducing electronic waste.
- Availability: In cases where OEM parts are backordered or discontinued, third-party parts allow us to minimize downtime and keep your systems running.
- Warranty Coverage: Any part—OEM or third-party—is backed by our standard warranty when installed and certified by our technicians.
Payment for the diagnostic charge must be received prior to repair. Once repair is complete, payment will be required upon invoice. We accept credit card, wire transfer or a certified check.
