TheNessLab : Ordering supplies

Created by Josianne Lachapelle on May 23, 2018

Here are a couple of general rules to follow when purchasing materials for the lab.

1. Search for your product on MedStore and different suppliers on USource before you make your order. Sometimes you can find that different suppliers carry a product with the quality and specifications you need but at different prices. Get the one that costs less.
2. If you are ordering a new product and the price is more than a couple hundred dollars, get Rob's approval before you place your order. If it is less than a couple hundred dollars and/or is a product we regularly purchase, just go ahead and make the order. 

USource

In USource you can order from Fisher Scientific, Sigma, VWR, Grand & Toy, and lots of other suppliers. To access USource you need your UTORID and an account. Contact Rob Ness to setup your account.

MedStore

The University of Toronto MedStore carries all the common laboratory materials at discounted prices. There is a $5 delivery fee to ship from downtown, so try to order everything you need from MedStore in one order instead of multiple separate orders.

The Ness lab has an account with MedStore, with user name NessLab. Contact Rob Ness or Josianne to get the password.

Beckman Coulter

The supplies for the Quanta Flow cytometer in Steven Short's lab come from Beckman Coulter. The responsibility of purchasing supplies for the flow cytometer is shared among the users of the flow cytometer. If you have been using it significantly, you need to contribute to the purchasing of supplies.

The Ness lab has an account with Beckman Coulter, with user name rnesslab. Contact Rob Ness or Josianne to get the password.

DV Stores

DV Stores carries some of the common laboratory supplies. If there is something you need and they don't carry it, they can order it for you. They are located in the basement of the William G. Davis building. Mention you are from the Ness lab.

Other sources

If you want to order from a different source, e.g. Amazon, you can use the lab credit card to make the transaction. Ask Rob for the credit card details.
