Scientific Supply Center (SSC)

We carry a wide variety of items for the research lab, ranging from molecular biology reagents to office supplies. If we do not stock an item, we will be happy to place a special order request with our regular weekly orders from our vendors.

Special Orders

  • Orders are final once they have been placed with the vendor and no returns are possible.
  • We cannot order equipment on special orders.
  • We do not charge shipping/handling on special orders, but some of our vendors may add their own charges.
  • Due to the inclusion of Sigma, Stratagene and Cell Signaling Technology in the University of Illinois iBuy (http://www.ibuy.uillinois.edu/), our prices will be slightly higher than iBuy. But for your convenience we have added Sigma, Stratagene and Cell Signaling Technology back on our Special Orders system.
