[Histonet] buying used lab equipment

[Kathleen Roberts]

We have bought used lab equipment on eBay, and (I think) from one of the used
equipment companies,though I am not sure which one as I was not the one who made
the purchase.  As for the equipment lasting, all our purchases were fairly
recent, so all I can say right now is "so far, so good".  :o)
