Tiger Group and EquipNet will host a timed, online auction on Oct. 16 featuring 400 lots of advanced, lightly used scientific equipment from closed facilities operated by Venatorx Pharmaceuticals.
The laboratory and pharma/biopharma assets come from Venatorx’s closed plant in Malvern, PA, as well its Editas Medicine site in Devens, MA. The offering includes:
- mass spectrometers
- high-performance liquid chromatographs (HPLCs)
- gas chromatography systems (GCs)/mass spectrometry detectors (MSDs)
- flow cytometry systems
- automated cell-processing systems
- digital polymerase chain reaction (PCR) systems
- freeze dryers
- automated cell culture analyzers
- centrifuges
- benchtop fluid homogenizers, and more
“This advanced equipment is already generating strong interest,” John Coelho, senior director of Tiger Commercial & Industrial, said. “At a time of rising costs for new research and diagnostic M&E of this type, this timed online auction represents an extraordinary opportunity for the entire pharma/biopharma space.”
Christopher Spinelli, vice president of life science and biotech asset disposition strategies at EquipNet, added, “Maintained for clinical-stage drug discovery, these assets are late model and lightly used. They include Agilent HPLCs/mass specs, a Bio-Rad QX ONE PCR, an SP freeze dryer, and a Nova BioProfile FLEX2, to name a few. Upgrade your lab now. Bidding opens soon.”
The timed, online auction closes on Thursday, Oct. 16, at 4:00 p.m. (ET). Bidding opens on Tuesday, Oct. 14, at SoldTiger.com.
Represented brands include Bruker, Agilent Technologies, BD Biosciences, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bio-Rad, SP Industries (ATS Life Sciences Scientific Products), Nova Biomedical, and Microfluidics (IDEX Corp.), among many others.
One coveted piece available in the sale, Spinelli noted, is a 2021 Bruker Ultrashield nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer (400MHz, 54mm), stored in Landsdale, Pennsylvania. “We can connect buyers with a firm that specializes in transporting these systems,” Spinelli said.
