Give your equipment a second life

When lab equipment is no longer needed, it can still make a difference elsewhere. Organizations like Seeding Labs redistribute surplus tools to universities and research institutions in low and middle income countries.

 

In 2025, they shipped over 3,000 instruments to 18 institutions, expanding access to hands-on science for thousands of students and researchers.

If you are planning a lab cleanout or upgrade, consider donation as part of your sustainability strategy.
