About Vetted Index

Vetted Index publishes independent, vendor-neutral buying guides for facility managers and procurement teams responsible for expensive industrial and medical equipment.

What we cover

  • Sterilisation & Decontamination: Washer-disinfectors, low-temperature sterilisers, endoscope reprocessing and sterile services equipment.
  • Autoclaves: Benchtop, laboratory and large steam autoclaves, plus the water treatment and validation kit that keeps them compliant.
  • Laboratory Automation: Liquid handling robots, automated analysers, sample storage and extraction systems for busy laboratories.
  • Industrial Pumps: Centrifugal, positive displacement, submersible and dosing pumps for process, water and building services.
  • Heavy Machinery Parts: Hydraulics, undercarriage, ground engaging tools, slewing rings and drivetrain parts for heavy plant.

How our guides are made

Our guides are written with AI assistance and pass automated editorial checks before they are published. Every guide follows the same structure: an executive buying summary, a comparison of equipment types with typical specification ranges, lead times and applicable standards, the features to look for, pros and cons, which facilities each type suits, and a buyer's checklist.

Our editorial rules are strict:

  • No brands. Guides compare equipment by type and never name manufacturers, suppliers, brands or products.
  • No prices. Prices change quickly and depend on specification, so guides never quote them.
  • No paid placement. The content of a guide is not influenced by any supplier.

Guides are general information, not professional advice. Always confirm specifications, standards and lead times with qualified advisers and suppliers before you buy.

How suppliers are listed

A supplier's name appears on Vetted Index only after the business has claimed its listing and confirmed it by email. Listed suppliers are shown separately from the guide content and are clearly marked. Vetted Index does not endorse or check suppliers' products or services.

Requesting quotes

Buyers can request quotes from any guide. We share a request with relevant suppliers only if the buyer agrees.
