Looking for recommendations for suppliers of general laboratory equipment

Hi all,

 

I'm looking for recommendations for suppliers for general laboratory equipment, mostly for sample collection and testing. e.g. parafilm, sample scoops, pH Calibration Buffers. I know Fisher is a big name but they seem very expensive, has anyone used Flinn Scientific? It seems geared towards schools so I'm not sure if they can provide certificates if we need them for validation.

 

Thanks!

look at nelson jameson. There focus is the food industry. I use them and think the have decent pricing and a good range of products. I would consider them "fisher light"
I have never used Flinn. I'm sure they are fine too.

Wow, they have a bunch of good stuff, thanks!

No problem. always willing to help where I can.

As Kingstudruler said, Nelson Jameson is a great resource. I have also used Thomas Scientific as well. Usually they were a bit cheaper than Fisher (at least on most products I bought for my labs).

Weber Scientific is great for small labs also.

For general laboratory equipment like parafilm, sample scoops, and pH calibration buffers, you might find LabSuppliesConnect useful. They have a comprehensive directory that can help you compare various suppliers. Here are a few relevant categories that might be helpful:

• General Laboratory Equipment
• Laboratory Supplies & Consumables
• pH Meters / Electrochemistry

I hope this helps!
