Using Search

If you know what product you need, enter your search terms in the main search box located in the blue bar at the top of the site. Type-ahead suggestions allow you to quickly filter your results to a manageable list.

You can also limit your search to specific product types (e.g. TaqMan assays or antibodies) by clicking on the 'Search All' dropdown to the left of the search box and selecting one of the Popular Product Areas before entering your search term.

1. To start a search, enter a keyword, product code, product name, CAS number, or manufacturer part number in the search box in the blue bar at the top of the site
2. Click the magnifying glass or hit enter. Search results will be displayed
3. You can narrow down your results by selecting one of the refinement fields from the left hand side of your search results hitlist. Filters include category, special offers, special interest, and brands. Depending on the product category, other filters may appear such as capacity, material, and more. You can further refine your search within the category with the 'Search Within Category' option at the top of the search results
4. To quickly access and view your item, click the 'Pricing and Availability' button in the search results. This will allow you to add the item to your basket or My List without leaving the search results page
