MBCL Reagent Program

The Core offers reagent discounts to internal investigators on items such as TAQMAN reagents, qPCR reagents, enzymes, etc. from ThermoFisher (Ambion & Life Technologies/Applied Biosystems)

Pricing is discounted, and there are no shipping fees, just an on-campus delivery fee. Reagents are delivered to your mailbox or mailroom in most cases, and you will be notified by email when your item arrives.

If you have any questions or suggestions for items to be stocked on site, please email us.
