Global Competition, Technical Excellence, and the Rise of Refurbished Mass Spectrometry Solutions
In July 2026, the Canadian market for used and refurbished high-end analytical instrumentation continues to expand rapidly, driven by increasing demand from pharmaceutical research, environmental testing laboratories, academic institutions, and biotech startups. Among all analytical platforms, liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LCMS) systems remain one of the most critical and expensive technologies in modern laboratories.
Within this segment, AB Sciex LCMS systems are especially valued for their high sensitivity, robustness, and long operational lifecycle. As a result, the secondary market for used AB Sciex instruments has become highly competitive, with specialized service providers offering refurbishment, calibration, installation, and global logistics support.
