What We Sell
For Universities
As former academic researchers, the SWL team appreciates the special challenges that university scientists face when trying to supply their labs on tight budgets. Our business model emphasizes flexibility and collaboration so that we can meet the needs of academic customers in whatever way necessary.
Budget Friendly
Our greatest value to academic labs comes from our competitive price points that give researchers access to consumables and equipment at rates that enable, not hinder, their innovation, particularly in the bioprocessing and translational areas of development.
Compatible Procurement
We understand the nuances that define much of the university procurement process, and our model is adaptable to Net-30 Day terms, Purchase Orders, Vendor Agreements, etc.
Adaptable Model
Second Wind Labs strives to meet the unique needs of our customers no matter what they may be. We are always open to accommodating specific requests such as Letters of Intent and Supporting Documentation for grants, special procurement requests, long-term financing, and new lab startup assistance.
For Startups and Industry
Costly consumables and hardware are a cornerstone of the biotech industry, rapidly draining capital reserves and shortening precious cash runway. With fundraising in early stage biotech more difficult than ever, high-quality surplus products are an excellent opportunity to cut back on spend without sacrificing innovation.
Flexible and Dynamic
Our mission is to provide customers with flexible procurement solutions, no matter their financial constraints. As such, we offer flexible financing, bulk orders, and new lab startup discounts to meet your business within the limits of your budget.
Translation-Focused
Second Wind Labs has a variety of bench-side and process development scale consumables, while our equipment offerings focus on high-throughput and data-rich solutions to streamline your workflows and improve the speed of discovery.
Cost-Effective
We provide businesses access to materials and hardware that would otherwise remain out of reach due to high capital costs. This allows young startups and innovative companies to make the most of their budgets and take the kind of risks that can lead to new discoveries.
For Training Programs
We provide classroom-quantities of unused bioprocessing materials, both in-date and out-of-date. These are perfect for programs looking to give students hands-on training in up and down-stream methods, without spending tens of thousands on single-use consumables priced for industry.
Upstream Biomanufacturing
Our stocks include upstream products for scaled cell culture such as:
- Single-Use Bioreactor Bags (100mL-1000L)
- Storage Bags and Containers
- Clarification and Depth Filters
Bulk pricing and group shipping rates available for large orders
Downstream Bioprocessing
We carry a wide variety of consumables for downstream processing including:
- Tubing and Connectors
