JenniferMac78 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Hello - I'm obviously a newbie to this site, but I was hoping you could share your experience with me. I've been tasked with trying to submit a budget for our blood bank and we are in desperate need of a new platelet agitator and incubator. It's strictly for budget purposes so I didn't really want to contact a sales person if I didn't have to. What do you think I should budget for a small Platelet Agitator and a small Platelet Incubator? Thanks in advance for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auntie-D Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 With the cost of them you would probably have to go to tender anyway. Not sure of the actual cost but they're not cheap... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbostock Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Probably around $8000. And get a Helmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L106 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I also highly recommend the Helmer brand. (We have had both their platelet agitator and environmental chamber for many years and problems have been very rare.) I suggest you go to their website and request price quotes for your budget. It is very quick and easy to do, they will email you a quote within a couple days They might send you a follow-up email to make sure you received the quotes, but I don't remember any salesperson ever calling or pestering me. (They know that we have to submit quotes for budgets, even though the budget items are often subsequently not approved for purchase.) Donna John C.

MAGNUM Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 DEFINATELY GET HELMER. I have had the same rotator for 10 years with NO problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rerun Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 We recently purchased a Helmer, and the cost was approximately $9,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that just for the Incubator or both the Agitator and Incubator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
