- Lab equipment is expensive, but buying directly from China can significantly reduce costs.
- Alibaba and AliExpress offer low prices with decent quality for many lab items, especially when selecting products with legitimate reviews.
- Example: A magnetic stirrer and hot plate cost $300 from scientific providers but only $50 on AliExpress with good performance.
- Custom parts can also be ordered from Chinese suppliers at much lower prices, such as a Far UVC bandpass filter for $40 instead of $200.
- Shipping is fast and customer service is often excellent, with representatives speaking English well.
