A laboratory manager needs enough technical clarity to shortlist an instrument, a consumable or a supplier before anyone requests a demonstration.
Our laboratory equipment website design work brings instruments, specifications, method compatibility, consumables, documentation and service cover into one usable buying journey. The aim is a platform that helps laboratory, quality and procurement teams reach a confident next step, whether that is a quotation, a demonstration or a tender submission.
A buyer often knows the method, the sample type, the throughput, the detection limit they need and the budget band before they know which instrument to look at. We plan content around those decisions, so a catalogue supports comparison rather than asking a visitor to decode a list of part numbers. Side-by-side specification views and clearly stated performance ranges do more to shorten a shortlist than any amount of product photography.
Instruments are bought into an existing environment: established methods, sample formats, consumables already on contract, data systems and software that must accept the output. We model the relationships between instruments, accessories, consumables, columns or reagents and supported methods so a buyer can confirm the instrument fits their laboratory rather than assuming it does. Getting this wrong after installation is expensive, so buyers check it carefully before committing.
Brochures, application notes, protocols, declarations of conformity, safety information, manuals and compatibility charts have value only when a buyer can find the relevant version at the right moment. We connect those assets to instruments, applications and support paths without turning the site into a document dump, and we keep revision and language versions distinguishable so a user is not left comparing two files with the same name.
Total cost of ownership rather than list price frequently decides an instrument purchase. Service contract tiers, response times, preventive maintenance, qualification support and the ongoing cost of consumables belong on the site alongside the instrument. A laboratory in a regulated environment also wants to know what qualification documentation you supply on installation, and finding that answer early makes the rest of the evaluation easier.
Many laboratory purchases are made by a procurement officer or through a public tender rather than by the scientist who will use the instrument. That reader needs structured specifications they can paste into a requirement matrix, clear part numbering, warranty and service terms, compliance statements and a route to a formal quotation. We design the pages so the same content serves both the technical evaluator and the person completing the paperwork.
Some purchases need a demonstration, a sample run, a configuration review or a distributor conversation. We design enquiry journeys that keep the instrument, configuration and application context the visitor was working with, so a sales or applications specialist can respond with something useful in the first reply. Where a distributor covers the territory, the enquiry routes to them without the visitor having to work out who to contact.
Code Industrial is the industrial B2B practice of Code Barcelona, an agency building corporate websites and digital platforms since 2015. The same strategy, design and engineering team works on every industrial project, from the first scoping session through to life after launch.
The build priorities for a technical laboratory purchase differ from a general industrial catalogue. These are the components a laboratory equipment website most often needs.
Questions that come up when instruments, consumables, documentation and a procurement process have to be served by one website.
At minimum: the portfolio organised by technique and application, structured specifications at part-number level, compatible consumables and accessories, current documentation, service and warranty information, and a clear route to a quotation or demonstration. The exact model depends on whether you sell instruments, reagents, consumables or an integrated workflow, since a consumables business needs reordering where an instrument business needs comparison.
Yes. We define filters and comparison criteria around practical selection variables such as technique, sample type, capacity, sensitivity, footprint, throughput and compatible accessories, then connect the catalogue to the source data your team maintains. A side-by-side comparison view is usually worth building, because it is the step a buyer would otherwise perform manually in a spreadsheet.
By modelling compatibility as a relationship between records rather than a paragraph on a page. Each instrument lists its compatible consumables, accessories and supported methods, and each consumable lists the instruments it fits, so the information stays consistent in both directions. Where compatibility depends on a configuration, a software version or a specific accessory, that condition is stated explicitly rather than left for the buyer to discover after purchase.
Yes. Tender teams need structured specifications they can map to a requirement matrix, stable part numbering, warranty and service terms, compliance and conformity statements, and a documented route to a formal quotation. We present that content so it can be extracted without rewriting, and we keep it in the same place as the technical content so the specification a scientist evaluated and the specification procurement quotes are the same one.
As a structured part of the instrument offer rather than a separate service section few visitors find. Contract tiers, response times, preventive maintenance schedules, spare part availability and the qualification documentation supplied on installation can sit alongside each instrument. For laboratories working to a quality standard, seeing that documentation named early removes a question that would otherwise surface late in the evaluation.
Yes. We design multilingual and regional structures that account for different contacts, product availability, regulatory statements and distributor responsibilities, while keeping one coherent technical information model underneath. Enquiries can route to the distributor covering the visitor’s territory, and search targeting is set so country versions reinforce rather than compete with each other.
Where the commercial model supports it, yes. Reordering works well for consumables and accessories bought repeatedly against agreed account pricing, and it releases technical sales from routine transactions. Instruments generally stay on a quotation path because configuration, service terms and approval processes make a straightforward checkout inappropriate, and the two models can coexist within the same catalogue.
