[labnetwork] Fee Structure - New Cleanroom (CUNY ASRC)

Thu Oct 24 04:04:58 EDT 2013

Dear Jacob,

We are dealers of used equipment.
Hence, I am surprised to see you are buying all new equipment.
If you are an R and D lab on a limited budget, then you should surely
consider used equipment. Other labs in your area like RIT have bought
and sold used equipment in the past. We have sold tools to a lot of
universities worldwide.

For example, I have been offered a quantity of used cleanroom located in
your area for a low price.
We also find regularly top-of-the-line research instruments available
for sale in the used market.
In the event of breakages, we also sell major subsystems like robots
that are recovered from old equipment or unwanted spares stocks.
We regularly deal with the top semiconductor manufacturing and research
laboratories.
In the interests of impartiality, I should also mention that we have
numerous competitors, whom you will surely find on google.

Yours sincerely,

Stephen Howe
