Question
I have a SLS Biophile Chromos 694 HeNe used laser. I would like to sell it, what would be an appropriate price on it?

Answer

Dear Anu:

Thank you for your inquiry.  Pricing on used laser will vary based on condition, age, software etc.  There is really no aftermarket, such as used cars, that will dictate the price for a used laser.  A good starting point would be to depreciate it based on purchase price and the condition of the unit at 10-15 percent per year.

Good luck

Question
how long can insulin stay out of a fridge without any affect on the product and at what tempeture

Answer

Insulin does not work well when it is kept for too long or is exposed to extreme temperatures. If you buy several bottles of insulin at once, keep the unopened ones in your refrigerator. (Do not put them in the freezer. Insulin clumps at temperatures below 36F.) Before you open a new bottle, check the date printed on it. If it is more than a month past that date, don't use the insulin -- it is too old.

If you use up a whole insulin bottle in a month or less, keep the bottle you are currently using at room temperature. It will stay fresh for up to month without refrigeration, as long as its temperature stays under 86F. If you would rather keep all insulin in the refrigerator, make sure to warm up the insulin before injecting it. Cold insulin can make the shot uncomfortable.
