Each week's auction will include an outstanding selection of assets ranging from HPLC and NMR Systems to Mass Spectrometers and general lab equipment. The majority of assets come from working environments and have been maintained, as one would expect from a top tier company such as Pfizer.

"With GoIndustry DoveBid, we have undergone an extensive project to identify all the surplus assets in our facilities across the country," said Bill Carr, Asset Disposition Director, from Pfizer Inc. "We have been pleased with our past results and look forward to our upcoming participation in the BioPharma Exchange."

The GoIndustry DoveBid BioPharma Exchange is a weekly series of online auction sales. Buyers typically have 24 to 48 hours to bid on state-of-the-art, biotech lab, research & development, and pharmaceutical equipment from the world's leading pharmaceutical manufacturers including Pfizer, Merck, and Bristol-Myers Squibb Company.
