I read with more than a little amusement regarding comments that "trade in" ins
truments are put into a warehouse.  Nothing could be farther from the truth.  M
y last place of employment (UAB) traded in my old Epics C for a BD instrument.
 The instrument went directly to the dump.  My former lab supervisor wasn't eve
n allowed to get the laser off to give to the physics departement, or engineeri
ng college.  While I don't know what Coulter's policy is, I do know BD's Policy
, JUNK IT!!! She tried very hard to salvage the laser for other uses but they w
ouldn't budge.  so I wouldn't hold your breath on getting "trade ins" to send t
o anybody else.
