Re: [RC] Bloodwork at rides - Susan GarlinghouseLook for the websites that offer reconditioned human medical equipment and then just send them an email telling them what you're looking for. I got a centrifuge for about $100 and a refractometer for $15. :-D Susan G BTW, SERA is looking into buying blood analysis instrumentation for the use at our rides similar to what we have done with our livestock scale. There are some logistic issues that have to be tackled but all in all it is a good idea and is clearly in the best interest of the riders.

Pretty reasonable. Susan GOK--I want to know where you're buying your lab equipment if you can get it that cheap! <G> Seriously, it sounds like a good idea to me. --CMNewell, DVM (hunting for a new refractometer at a bargain price...) =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
