A Value-Focused Model for Procurement

Our surplus approach is built around three core areas of Cost, Sustainability, and Risk. By procuring, verifying, and consolidating surplus products, we are able to provide customers in the Life Sciences sector access to quality inputs at unbeatable rates. With a keen understanding of the budgetary and administrative barriers that many laboratories face, we accommodate various payment structures and terms to reduce risk in the procurement cycle to support both industry and academic customers. 


Low Costs

Streamlined acquisition and an efficient operating model allows us to supply our customers at prices that enable, not stifle, biologic research


Sustainability Focus

We recycle value in the Research supply chain by connecting excess or liquidated assets with researchers that turn them into exciting science


Flexible Risk Models

For larger purchases, we provide several different payment and procurement terms to better accommodate your organization's needs

Why Surplus? 

Though the range and quality of laboratory products is greater than it's ever been, many of these supplies are becoming inaccessible due to their high costs. Financially vulnerable organizations like startups and universities are seeing their procurement departments' purchasing power dwindle every year. Tighter budgets give researchers less room to experiment, take risks, and innovate, reducing the value of their output and holding back new research breakthroughs. 


Second Wind Labs provides cost-conscious labs a better option for procuring supplies to conduct their most critical work. By targeting surplus or liquidated inventory, we are able to acquire the consumables labs use every day at a fraction of the cost. Our expertise in Laboratory operations allows us to identify the best surplus opportunities and pass huge savings onto customers. We acquire bulk inventories of properly stored, still-in-the-box items, ensuring our products are functional and get the job done.
