FAQ

What's LabX? A marketplace for new, used, and refurbished laboratory, scientific, and clinical equipment, listing inventory from equipment dealers, manufacturers, and private sellers worldwide.

Why is price sometimes missing? Many high-value instruments are listed as "Request a Quote" rather than a fixed price. The actor never fabricates a price; it omits the field instead.

What if my manufacturer isn't in the dropdown? Use customManufacturer with the exact brand name as it appears on LabX (e.g. Bio-Rad, PerkinElmer). The actor resolves it to LabX's internal filter automatically; if no exact/partial match is found it falls back to folding the name into the keyword search.

What if my category isn't in the dropdown? Use customCategory with the category's LabX URL slug (visible in the site's category-page URL, e.g. nmr, endoscopy).

How fresh is the data? Listings are scraped live on every run — LabX's marketplace inventory updates continuously as sellers list and sell equipment.
