Equipment Exchange

Equipment Exchange

collaboration

VALIDATE is helping to coordinate equipment transfers between our members, with the aim of connecting researchers who have surplus equipment they want to get rid of with members who would be able to use the equipment in their lab or clinic. Priority will be given to researchers based in LMICs to receive equipment.

If you or your research group have any spare equipment that you would be willing to pass on then please let us know at validate@ndm.ox.ac.uk - we will then email our members and help to set up a suitable exchange.

Available equipment

40 Hanwell Temperature Monitoring Units from UKHSA, UK. Please submit your Expression of Interest by 6th February 2023 (1600 GMT).

Equipment Request Board

Below is a virtual noticeboard, listing equipment that VALIDATE members need/would like. If you are able to help by donating any of the following equipment, please contact the requesting member directly and CC validate@ndm.ox.ac.uk.

Listing requests for this Board will only be accepted for current VALIDATE members. If you are a VALIDATE member and would like to request equipment, please complete our VALIDATE Equipment Request Form. Please note that requests should be for urgent, required equipment that would support your laboratory and staff's current research remit (not a shopping wishlist, otherwise this forum will be unmanageably huge!!). Please also note that the recipient of any donated equipment is likely to have to pay for the costs of shipping and importing the donated items.
