Two photo-identified Sebia CAPILLARYS 2 FLEX-PIERCING analyzers retain specialist recovery potential, but seller-declared scrap, missing parts, no PC/PHORESIS environment, no functional evidence, and buyer-managed two-unit freight leave no positive blind/as-is hammer.
Stale-data warning

Why this decision
REVIEW: exact identity and residual market evidence do not overcome explicit scrap/parts-missing condition, unbounded workflow completeness, and two-unit recovery costs; the blind/as-is ceiling is $0.

Auction snapshot
This page preserves the September 22, 2026 GSA pre-close observation for item 377707, sale 4-1-QSC-I-27-005, lot 011. No numeric high bid or bidder count was preserved; blank fields are not a $0 result. The scheduled close is recorded as the date-only October 13 marker, not an exact auction clock time.
A specific electrophoresis identity is not the same as a complete PC/software, rack, reagent, and analytical workflow.

Requires Verification
The scenarios show potentially workable economics, but the stated verification gate must be resolved before bidding responsibly.
Both standard return requirements fail at a positive hammer under the approved blind/as-is cost model.
A positive verified-case ceiling requires both systems to power on, communicate with usable PHORESIS workstations, retain major racks/accessories, and pass relevant functional checks.
| Transaction / operating cost | Amount | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Selling Fees | $375 | LotCaliper assumption: 15% of modeled gross resale. |
| Shipping | $900 | LotCaliper pickup, packing, rigging, and inbound-logistics reserve; not a carrier or GSA quote. |
| Testing Repair Reserve | $400 | LotCaliper functional-test and diagnostic reserve. |
| Risk Buffer | $600 | LotCaliper reserve for buyer-managed removal, untested scrap condition, missing parts, configuration recovery, repair, and resale uncertainty. |
| Other | $500 | 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.
The public identity uses the specific CAPILLARYS 2 FLEX-PIERCING electrophoresis designation while preserving the seller's generic blood-chemistry classification as a listing issue.
Visible PM labels are service-history clues only. They do not establish startup, PHORESIS communication, rack transport, capillary integrity, fluidics, detection, temperature control, or a valid electropherogram.
Snapshot decision
REVIEWREVIEW: exact identity and residual market evidence do not overcome explicit scrap/parts-missing condition, unbounded workflow completeness, and two-unit recovery costs; the blind/as-is ceiling is $0.
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.
