At Lab Cycle Partners we are on a mission to keep Lab Equipment out of Landfill.

Founded by two guys who saw a problem…

Craig Sem and Mark Foster have both been in the science industry for the past 30 years. They’ve worked in academic labs, start-ups, CROs, biotech, and Big Pharma. All industries faced the same issue - perfectly good lab equipment being sent off to landfill.

For Craig the frustration hit a peak during his last few years in Big Pharma…

“The spend was high, the waste was higher…and I literally couldn’t find anyone to take my used equipment. It was good equipment with a lot of life left in it, stuff that would benefit so many small companies!”

Founded in 2023, Lab Cycle Partners provides a climate-responsible solution to equipment disposal, offering high-quality, low-cost lab equipment to startups, budget-conscious companies, and everyone in between. We focus on providing the Southern California biotech community a way to repurpose lab equipment without sending it to the trash.

“How long does your old equipment need to collect dust? We can help!”
