was started fourteen years ago as a dream. We are a wife and husband team who want to make life better - both yours and ours. We have lots of children, and this is our way of making their dreams come true, too. Thanks for your support.

Management Services

Similar to the "Freezer Programs" on campus in years past, this management service is a convenient way to have supplies on hand. The big difference is that we work with products from any company - it's your choice. We do not provide products, and have no preference for any vendor so we escape the "conflict of interest" issues. These are the usual steps:

The inventory items can include chemicals, enzymes, markers, competent cells, media, tissue culture reagents, gases, disposables - it's up to you. Vendors can include NIH Stock, Sigma, Invitrogen, Roche Biochemicals, New England Biolabs, Quality Biologicals, Amersham Pharmacia - it's up to you.

We can prepare orders for the NIH Purchasing staff, track the progress of the orders through the system, and help out with the receiving after the products arrive. Some orders are problematic - let us help you find alternatives, stay on top of the issues and get what you want faster.

Call us today to find out more about this exciting, flexible program. We have references in the NCI, NIAID and NHGRI - they will be happy to talk to you about our programs.
