Very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable staff from the sales to the installation team. Justin gave me options on various pieces of equipment with pros and cons, considering our lab's needs and volume. Calvin and Chris provided quick installation without losing patience with our multiple questions regarding the equipment. I would highly recommend Rankin for other labs!
The Rankin team assisted us through our whole lab set-up. Everyone did a fantastic job from sales/ordering and technical support through delivery and installation. A few repairs were needed post-install, and their response was very rapid and thorough. I highly recommend their services for your histology laboratory needs. Thanks for helping make our laboratory build out go so smoothly.
Rankin Biomedical is one of the most professional and responsive organizations I have worked with in my career supporting anatomic pathology labs. Justin is knowledgeable, honest, and worked diligently to ensure our needs were met. The value provided by their refurbished instrumentation is incredible. I would not hesitate to recommend Rankin to anyone.
Fantastic customer service, We have bought several pieces of equipment from Rankin and the customer service from Justin and everyone there has been great from start to finish! They are very quick to respond to any questions, requests and even if you need help with set up. Thank you for all you do!
I currently work for an Diagnostic company that needed a Hematek stainer, and used Rankin Biomedical to acquire one. Samuel Nau was the person I had the pleasure of speaking with, and he provided fantastic customer service. His responses were not only prompt, informative, accurate, and professional, but he truly went out of his way to provide customer satisfaction. He followed up with any inquires I had quickly, and offered assistance in any way he could. I cannot say enough good things about my experience with him and Biomedical!
As a technical service provider we at iLabServices have grown to rely on Rankin Biomedical ( or more specifically Rankin Warehouse) as a provider of 'hard to find' repair parts., Terry Sullivan, specifically, has been a helpful, responsive asset for information, advise and component sourcing, across a wide range of AP/Histology Lab equipment. Their refurbished units, that we have serviced, have always looked very professionally finished.
We have ordered from Rankin several times in the past and we recently ordered 3 different items. The sales staff was very helpful in getting exactly what we were looking for. When we needed help with setting up the equipment the service department was very promt to get back to us and extremly helpful. I would not hesitate to buy from them again.
Fantastic group of people. Always SUPER helpful and diligent. Top notch equipment and customer service. Highly recommend Rankin Bio to anyone looking for equipment.
Fantastic customer experience from sales to receipt. We purchased a refurbished Leica CM3050S Cryostat from Rankin. It arrived in beautiful condition and is working fantastically!
We’ve purchased a few products through Rankin and they’ve worked out beautifully. Even better is their phenomenal customer service! Great people to work with.
Our lab purchased a 4740 unit; it's amazing.Working with Rankin was a pleasure :)It was also nice that Justin followed up with to make sure that we're loving the unit.
I am running an anatomy lab in a non-R1 university.I think Rankin Biomedical is doing a great service to the histology community.Its refurbished equipment indeed works like brand new, and the price is a fraction of a new one.It's stuff and CEO are not only extremely nice and helpful but also really understand the technical details of their equipment.During my communications with Rob Rankin (founder and CEO), I can tell that he really genuinely wants to help researchers and is extremely kind.This company definitely has contributed to the advancement of human knowledge by supplying very-low-price and high quality equipment to researchers who do not have a lot of funding.
I have used Rankin Biomedical throughout my 25 plus year career in histology for several reasons. The main reason is that all of the people that I have dealt with at Rankin Biomedical are polite, professional and helpful. This is extremely important as we have all experienced the typical stresses of a workday and enjoy an unexpected stress free telephone call or email exchange – which Rankin Biomedical always provides. Additionally, I have purchased used equipment from Rankin Biomedical and it has always been in excellent working condition. Finally, Rob Rankin proposed that we partner in providing educational articles in histology for view on the Rankin Biomedical website – and we did. I have received feedback from many colleagues who agree that the articles are easy to access, informative, to the point and provide good histology reference information. It is a pleasure being both a customer and colleague of Rankin Biomedical. Clifford M Chapman, Medi-Sci Consultants
I have been using Rankin Biomedical as a vendor for the clinical industrial laboratory that I manage for the past two years, and I love them.Their customer service is fast and friendly, their pricing is competitive, and their repair technicians are thorough.I recommend Rankin to all of my colleagues because you get a high value for your time and money on the products and services. As a final note, the staff is pleasant to work with- these are great people running a great business.
We purchased a tissue processor from Rankin and had a great service experience. They were quick to answer emails and our shipment was hassle free. They also worked with us to make sure we got the product which was best suited for our needs.
The team at Rankin, from the owner to sales and customer care, have all worked hard on the purchases we have made from them. We needed some extra help on a piece of equipment which did not perform as expected but the Rankin team worked diligently to make sure it exceeded expectations. I highly recommend them if you are interested in purchasing refurbished histology equipment.
We were looking for a specific vent for our new lab. When I contacted Rankin and explained what vent we wanted they found exactly what we had requested. It was in a very short period of time. After we received the vent they contacted me to make sure it was what we wanted. If I have a need in the future I will contact them because of how helpful and professional they have been.
You will work with a dedicated account representative to understand your needs and timeline, as well as to answer any initial questions you have about the lab setup process. Rankin is very selective in the brands of equipment that we offer for your lab setup, in that they must have a proven track record of reliability and durability in the field, and in testing at our technical shop. After almost 30 years, we’ve sorted out the non-ideal product options. Service contracts are also available through Rankin, and can be included in the upfront purchase.
2. Design
Our applications and lab consultant has over 40 years of histology lab experience. You will receive a 2D and 3D layout for your lab, and there are typically several revisions until we get it just right. The layout takes into account current needs, as well as plans for future growth potential. This service is free of charge and is a perk of working with Rankin for your lab setup. This service is what helps our customers open faster and more smoothly. Take these layouts
3. Place Order
Once the quote and layout are dialed in to fit your needs, you can place your order. Many clients elect to finance the purchase to keep cash in their pocket. Once your order is placed, our operations and service team will begin working to fulfill your order which typically consists of a mix of new and refurbished items.
4. Pre-Installation Prep
Our service team will provide you with a pre-installation checklist document for each instrument that you purchased. The dimensions, weight, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC requirements are spelled out clearly so you can hand the documents to your contractors. If your contractors have any questions, they can call us directly to speak with our service team.
5. Delivery, Installation, & Operator Training
Setting up a lab is a massive project from a logistical standpoint. Lucky for you, we’ve done this before. Our service representatives are on your team, and will work with you to arrange for the proper timing of delivery. We often hold equipment until our customer’s facility is ready. Products will be delivered, then biomedical technicians will be scheduled to come set up, install, and provide basic operator training on the instruments. Applications support is not a standard service Rankin offers but can be arranged directly with a consultant per our recommendation.
