Research and laboratory chemicals and ingredients

Universities, government labs, hospitals, contract research organisations, quality control labs and discovery teams in pharma, biotech, agrochemical and materials companies all buy laboratory chemicals. Their needs differ. A quality control lab needs certified standards and reagents with lot traceability and accreditation. A medicinal chemistry team needs fast access to millions of building blocks with NMR and LC-MS data. A biology lab needs buffers, probes and substrates with tested performance.

CompoundList lists a very wide range of research compounds, so most catalogued chemicals have a page with identifiers, structure and safety data even before a supplier lists them. You can search by name, CAS number or structure, and send a bulk quote request with a list of CAS numbers and quantities. Some laboratory chemicals are controlled because they are drug, explosive or chemical weapons precursors, so suppliers may ask for an end-user declaration or licence. When you post a request, give the grade, pack size, quantity, purity and analytical data you need, and whether you accept make-on-demand synthesis for compounds that are not in stock.
