Ordering

Teams will order a lot of different items throughout the semester! Some items will be things we frequently buy (see attached Google Spreadsheet), and other items will be specific to the teams needs.

Before ordering for a team:

• Make sure what they are ordering cannot be found in supplies already in the lab
• Check the Frequently Purchased Items Google Doc for supplies we order a lot!
• Try to order from Cornell Suppliers if possible. Suppliers in Eshop we use often:
  • McMaster Carr (anything PVC, flexible tubing, 80-20 parts, etc.)
  • DigiKey (electronics)
  • Newark (electronics)
  • VWR (chemicals, safety gear)
• If you have to order from a supplier outside of Eshop you will need to fill out an IWANT Doc. Suppliers we buy from outside of Eshop:
  • Amazon (anything!)
  • Cole-Parmer (Peristaltic tubing, microbore tubing)
• Trust your instincts! If an item seems too expensive or you know of a better part to meet their needs, talk with the team about what they want to purchase!
