About Global Tech Equipment
Global Tech Equipment has bought, sold, and traded used analytical, laboratory, and medical instruments since 2013 — serving customers across the United States and worldwide from our base in Tukwila, Washington.
Who we are
Since 2013 we've helped labs, manufacturers, and dealers recover maximum value from surplus and end-of-life equipment. Through an established global network of buyers, we move instruments quickly and fairly — from a single unit to an entire facility.
What we do
We offer flexible selling options to fit your situation: direct purchase (cash for surplus), brokerage, consignment, and auction services for larger inventories. Full-service logistics are handled in-house — rigging, moving, crating, shipping, and warehousing — so a sale is handled end to end.
Instruments we specialize in
We focus on the manufacturers laboratories rely on — Agilent, Thermo Scientific, SCIEX, PerkinElmer, Waters, and Applied Biosystems — spanning mass spectrometry, chromatography (GC/GCMS), and ICP-OES, plus Faro 3D laser scanners for metrology and inspection.
Local roots, global reach
We operate out of Tukwila, WA, and regularly work with international customers, preparing instruments for export where applicable.
Packaging & Logistics
Sensitive analytical instruments demand more than a box and a pallet. We prepare every shipment to export grade, in-house.
Full custom crating
Crates built specifically for each instrument, designed for sensitive analytical and lab equipment.
Secure block-and-brace
Block-and-brace methods that immobilize equipment and absorb shock so nothing shifts in transit.
IPPC / ISPM-15 compliant lumber
Heat-treated and stamped lumber that meets global phytosanitary requirements for international shipments.
In-house rigging & warehousing
Rigging, crating, shipping, and warehousing under one roof, with worldwide freight.
Why it matters: on a $50,000 instrument, safe arrival is everything — proper crating and bracing protect both the equipment and your investment.
