NimbleGen Hybridization System 4   For sale- a NimbleGen Hybridization System 4.  It says in smaller print that it was actually built by BioMicro Systems, and then Roche came along and bought both companies.  So I have used Roche in the title mainly for the search engines.  But was then surprised to find their logo on the back label.   The unit is in very good to excellent physical condition.  When I got it there was a screw taped to the top which is rarely a good sign.  The screw fits up under the front left corner and holds that side of the front control panel in place.  I only mention it because when I tried to put it back it didn’t really feel like it caught on anything although it did stay in place for now.   So I was pleasantly surprised when I powered the thing up and it appears to be functional.  The set point was 42 degrees C, it took it about 10 minutes or so to go from room temp to the set point.  And as is typical of heating devices it actually went past the set point, up as high as 43.0 at one point, before settling back down to 42.   I couldn’t find a picture of one of these on the web, so I have no idea if the module attached on the left is an accessory item or part of the normal Nimblegen System 4.  It has an outboard power supply which certainly makes it seem like an add on, but then again there is an AC outlet on the back of the Nimblegen that would appear to be just for that.   The only thing that I didn’t feel entirely positive about is that on that left module is a button that says Mix Mode Press and Hold to Start.  So I pressed and held and I couldn’t see that anything happened.  But as there are no slides or other samples or whatever this thing is supposed to be holding I guess not much mixing can take place.  That is the extent of my testing and NO warranty is offered.   However, IF you pay the asking price and find it has a problem you cannot live with within 14 days of receipt you may return it.  Returns are ONLY allowed on Buy It Now Purchases.  Accepted Best Offers are strictly an as is sale, no returns allowed.  Return would be for a refund of the purchase price, not including shipping costs.   Just so that we are clear on that, this is an item that has not been thoroughly tested.  As such it may work fine or it may have problems, so any purchase entails a certain degree of risk.  If you Buy It Now your risk is limited to the shipping costs both ways.  If you submit an offer you do so knowing that you cannot return it.  In either case it is up to you to decide whether the risk level is acceptable to you, and if not you need to pass on this particular item.   Normally I clean all of the various “property of” stickers off, but I left one on this thing indicating it wasn’t due for another inspection until 2/14.  So if it has been languishing in surplus purgatory it hasn’t been there for too long.  Please check out my other listings for more interesting lab, test, and optical equipment.  Check back often!   Sold as is, as described, as pictured.  Potential buyers are asked to please make sure you have read the listing carefully, and understand what you are buying.  Ebay’s condition codes for used items, which I am now required to select from, might imply a degree of functionality that my limited time, knowledge, and facilities do not allow me to ascertain.  If the functional condition of the item is known it will be stated as such in the listing.  Unless a warranty is specifically offered returns are not accepted regardless of any implied functionality.   You are also encouraged to visit my “ME” page, where my terms, conditions, and philosophy of doing business are outlined.  I don’t think anything there is outside the bounds of normal e-commerce, but they are binding on the transaction.   Payment is expected within 7 days of the close of the sale and I need to hear from you within 3 days to confirm the transaction.  Please add $23.99 for shipping anywhere in the continental US.  International shipments, plus Alaska and Hawaii for actual shipping costs plus $5.   Ebay (in their infinite wisdom) forces me to include a “Handling Time” in the listing which they then factor into the delivery time.  As a default I use 5 days to allow for the worst case scenario, which would be that I am out of town when you buy and then can’t find the item when I get home.  In most cases I ship the next business day after payment is made, and sometimes things even go out the same day.  I’m just not willing to commit to that timeframe for every transaction.
