About Lab2Lab
Lab2Lab is the professional platform for second-hand laboratory equipment operated by Labgene. We help labs buy and sell instruments and systems with clear information, structured listings, and a process designed for real laboratory needs - not generic marketplace noise.
Why Lab2Lab exists
Laboratory equipment is expensive and often still useful long after its first owner moves on. But the channels to reuse it are fragmented, opaque, and rarely built for professionals.
Good instruments shouldn't sit in storage when another lab could use them.
Labs need a serious B2B channel - not consumer classifieds with a science category bolted on.
The goal is simple: keep good lab equipment working in another lab, with fewer frictions.
What we do
Lab2Lab is a structured catalogue for second-hand laboratory equipment - instruments, systems, and supplies across molecular biology, protein analysis, general lab equipment, and furniture where relevant.
- Clear listings: identity, condition, origin, photos, and logistics - not just a title and a price.
- Every listing is reviewed before publication. Incomplete or unclear ones are sent back.
- Focus on clarity before volume: a curated catalogue you can trust, not a firehose of unvetted posts.
How trust is handled
Two listing origins, clearly labelled on every unit:
Sold by Labgene
Equipment owned and handled by Labgene Scientific SA. Labgene warranty and quality process apply.
Third-party
Equipment offered by a laboratory, manufacturer, distributor or other professional. Sold as is. Labgene acts as intermediary.
Every listing - Labgene or third-party - is reviewed before it goes live. Sanitary documentation is requested only when the equipment and its history require it, not as a blanket rule.
Who it is for
Buyers
Labs, research groups, biotech companies, institutes, and professional purchasers looking for reliable second-hand equipment with clear condition and origin.
Sellers
Labs and organisations with surplus, demo, or decommissioned equipment - looking for a professional channel rather than disposal.
How it fits with Labgene
Lab2Lab is operated by Labgene Scientific SA. It is the digital layer for second-hand equipment: catalogue, listing quality, inquiries, and follow-up. A working tool for labs - not consumer classifieds.
