As of Nov 8, 2026, there are 54 live laboratory equipment sales postings. Median advertised annual base: $111,150 (n=44), versus $130,541 nationally.
Analysers, sequencers, reagents and lab automation — sold to hospital laboratories, reference labs and research institutions. A capital and consumables business rather than a clinical one. The instrument is placed and the reagents pay for it over years, so the sale is a long procurement with a lab director, a purchasing team and a finance model in it. The customer is technical and the competition is on throughput, uptime and cost per test. Employers hire scientists into these roles as often as salespeople, and a laboratory background is worth more here than field sales experience. 54 open roles right now. Every role here either names this line in its own posting or is at an employer that sells only this — never a guess from the employer’s industry.

As of Nov 8, 2026, 9 matching postings state a minimum of zero to two years, while 14 do not state a minimum. These are stated experience requirements, not a guarantee of entry-level eligibility. A posting can require industry experience, a credential or a particular background separately; read the employer's qualifications before applying.
The median advertised annual base is $111,150, calculated from 44 qualifying postings as of Nov 8, 2026. This uses each published range's midpoint and excludes hourly rates and on-target earnings. It measures advertised base pay, not take-home pay or first-year total compensation. 94% publish a numeric pay range of any kind.
The largest matching employer counts as of Nov 8, 2026 are Siemens Healthineers (16), Danaher (5), Avantor (4). These are currently advertised postings on MedSales Radar, not a complete census of hiring or proof of expansion. Counts can change after an employer refreshes its careers site; use the linked listings to check current requirements and locations.
3 of 54 matching postings are flagged remote as of Nov 8, 2026, meaning worked from home with no field territory; 30 state a travel percentage. A field role run from a home office is not counted as remote, because it involves customer visits and a defined territory. A missing remote flag does not establish an office requirement, and an unstated travel percentage does not mean no travel. Confirm territory and travel expectations with the employer.
