Germfree 3-Port LFGI Compounding Isolator — Auction Analysis
This three-port Germfree LFGI-family isolator is probably a 4-foot / LFGI-4USP-class system, but the exact suffix, pressure/exhaust configuration, functional state, and post-transport certification are unresolved; the blind ceiling is ~$250.
Analysis snapshot · Historical — observed September 2, 2026. The scheduled close date of September 7, 2026 has passed. The price, evidence, economics, and recommendation remain exactly as recorded and are not current.

- Maximum hammer bid
- $250
The auction bid ceiling supported by this analysis, if one is defensible; see costs below for buyer-premium treatment.
Why this decision
REVIEW: a $250 blind ceiling is the conservative result of a $3,500 post-verification model with freight, certification, glove/filter, selling, profit, and risk reserves; no observed bid is preserved.
What to verify before bidding
- The LFGI family and three-port architecture are established, but an exact LFGI-4USP suffix is not.
- No post-transport certification or meaningful functional evidence is established.

Auction snapshot
This page preserves the September 2, 2026 GSA observation for item 375679. The supplied snapshot preserves a September 7 scheduled close but no sale number, lot number, location, bidder count, or bid.
A clean, substantial isolator is not certified containment; exact configuration and post-transport qualification govern its resale state.

How independent review worksHow evidence is classified
Seller facts, photo-derived observations, manufacturer context, unknowns, and LotCaliper assumptions remain explicitly separated.
Photo Derived
Photo-derived
- The enclosure appears structurally coherent, but appearance does not establish glove integrity, filter state, or clean-air performance.
Not Established
Not established
- Exact suffix, pressure/exhaust mode, electrical configuration, function, HEPA integrity, airflow, particle count, contamination history, and post-transport certification.
Manufacturer Context
Independent context
- Germfree documentation requires certification after installation and transportation; previous-site documentation is not a substitute.
Lotcaliper Assumption
LotCaliper assumptions
- $3,500 conservative resale only after credible operational and certification evidence.
- ~$250 blind maximum hammer after freight, certification, glove/filter, selling, profit, and uncertainty reserves.

Sensitivity and robustness
Requires Verification
The scenarios show potentially workable economics, but the stated verification gate must be resolved before bidding responsibly.
Post-installation certification model
- Max hammer
- $250
- Gross resale model
- $2,500–$4,500
The ceiling assumes a specialist resale path only after credible operational and installation-appropriate certification evidence.
Costs and maximum bid

| Testing Repair Reserve | $600 | LotCaliper functional-test and diagnostic reserve. |
| Risk Buffer | $400 | Blower, HEPA, seal, airlock, contamination, and configuration risk reserve. |
| Other | $300 | LotCaliper missing-component, configuration, or recovery reserve; not a seller or service quote. |

This is a reseller ceiling, not a prediction of the auction's closing price. Any buyer premium or other unquoted acquisition charge must be deducted before bidding.
Certification and containment economics
The family and three-port architecture are useful identification evidence, but the analysis does not promote the unit to a photo-confirmed LFGI-4USP, CACI-certified, positive-pressure, negative-pressure, or USP <797>/<800>-compliant system.
The first value-driving evidence is an exact plate, basic operation, integrity testing, and installation-specific certification after transport.
- Obtain a readable model plate and confirm pressure/exhaust configuration.
- Budget qualified HEPA, airflow, pressure, particle-count, glove, and airlock verification after installation.

Market support assesses how well the available evidence supports the resale assumption. Exact third-party marketplace records may be omitted when source-use rights are unclear. Each dimension uses the published methodology rubric; a confidence label measures the strength and boundedness of its evidence, not the likelihood of a profitable outcome.
Risks and unknowns
High · Model Variant Unresolved
The LFGI family and three-port architecture are established, but an exact LFGI-4USP suffix is not.
No readable nameplate.
High · Certification Unverified
No post-transport certification or meaningful functional evidence is established.
Clean appearance and installed gauges do not establish containment or ISO Class 5 performance.
