When you need electronic testing and measuring equipment in the greater Gaithersburg, MD area, you need a business partner with capabilities you can trust. At NSCA & Tra-Cal Lab, we are a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) that has been serving the local area since 1988. Here is an overview of our sales services and how we can help you.

Equipment We Carry

We offer a wide selection of electronic testing equipment and electronic measuring equipment to fit your specifications and business needs across a wide range of industries. We are also flexible in how we provide equipment to our clients. When you work with us can buy equipment, lease it, or rent it. These options allow you to always have the equipment you need without stressing your company’s inventory or budgetary needs.

  • New Equipment: We are business partners with the industry’s top equipment manufacturers and equipment producers. This means we offer a broad selection of equipment to help outfit your lab with all its testing equipment needs. If you need to purchase, update, or replace your measuring equipment, we can help.
  • NSCA Technologies Certified Refurbished: We carry certified refurbished equipment from industry producers such as Keysight. This is a useful option as you can save up to 80 percent on equipment costs versus buying new ones. Every piece of refurbished equipment we sell is properly serviced, rebuilt, calibrated, and carefully tested. All of our refurbishment stock is tested to meet the same performance standards as a new piece of equipment.

Renting, Leasing, Buying, and Selling

Every company has different needs, which is why at NSCA & Tra-Cal Lab, we offer options on how you pay for equipment. Buying equipment gives you full control over its use and how it is controlled. It can also save money for established businesses with defined long-term plans. Leasing is a long-term agreement typically lasting 24 to 60 months. Leasing offers tax advantages, ease of equipment updates, and potential to buy. Renting is a short-term solution that can save on overhead, allow for trials, and avoid upkeep costs. We also buy old equipment. If you have older, legacy, or simply underused equipment you’re looking to get rid of contact us today. We can provide cash or store credit while helping you streamline equipment management and inventory.
