Probe Stations

ClassOne Equipment specializes in the sale of refurbished probe stations used for semiconductor and nanotechnology characterization, failure analysis, and integrated circuit verification. Our technicians can provide a complete support cycle, from installation to training to after-sales service. Our singular focus is on giving our customers the quality and reliability they expect at a price they can afford. We’re confident that a ClassOne refurbished probe station is simply the best you can buy.

Every piece of equipment we sell is refurbished to meet original manufacturing specifications, and we back this superior refurbishment process with an industry-leading 6-month warranty on parts and labor and a 30-day return policy. In addition to our order lead times being less than half those of the OEMs, buying refurbished equipment can save you up to 60% off their prices while providing the same exceptional quality and performance you demand.
