Laboratory apparatus, chemicals, and supplies are purchased and stocked for resale. Sources of supply are constantly monitored to insure the best possible pricing. Items are normally purchased in quantity to take advantage of the best available pricing structure. Although purchased in quantity, most items are sold to the campus community in smaller or broken packages. A very modest markup is programmed to enable the auxiliary service to break even financially.
Discounts are available on full cases or large orders of various items.
