Scientific / Laboratory

VWR International is the University's strategic partner for provision of scientific/ laboratory distributor products. Fisher Scientific holds a secondary contract for its proprietary brands and products. Procurement Services establishes contracts for other goods and services that may be proprietary or of a sole source nature. When available, departments use e-catalogs within the Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) system to purchase products; procurement card is not permitted with suppliers providing e-catalogs to the University.  Step-by-step help guides for each catalog and related information can be found on the Training Page. Information on additional scientific price contracts can be found here.

Conduct all purchases, regardless of order amount, via e-catalog within SRM. Items from customized quotes can also be placed into Shopping Carts directly from within the e-catalog.

Conduct all purchases, regardless of order amount, via SRM. An e-catalog is available and contains brands and products proprietary to Fisher Scientific. Departments can purchase other items needed from Fisher Scientific using a Free Text Shopping Cart and quote.

An e-catalog for Life Technologies, that includes Invitrogen and Applied Biosystems products, is available for ordering life sciences products. Departments may order standard products via the Direct Ordering link within the catalog.

Links are also available for custom primers and sequencing-related products as well as ordering items for pickup from the Life Technologies-Life Sciences Supply Center at Gluck Equine Research Building. Departments may place orders for selected products stored on-site at the Gluck Supply Center and/or have other items shipped to Gluck for pickup by the department to save on shipping and handling costs.

This site is designed to service UK departments and is a secure and simplified way to order gases. The site includes all American Welding & Gas contract items and reflects the contracted pricing. Choose below for instructions on getting started on the site or go directly to the site to order.

As a reminder, for any single item/equipment that is $5,000 or more, a requisition will need to be transacted in SRM for the purchase of that item. Otherwise, procurement card policies and procedures apply.
