Ordering From Corning Life Sciences

[BioETS]

Hey just wondering if anybody has ordered from Corning Life Sciences? I want to order some cell culture agents and stuff but am unsure if I need to be part of an institution/organization to place an order. I graduated university 2 years ago so I no longer have any ties with a university. I emailed their customer service email but got no reply. Thanks.

Hi BioETS! Welcome to Hypography!

 

We're not a large site, so please don't post multiple threads on the same topic. The people who are interested will find them.

 

To answer your question, I'm not familiar with Corning but I've been in B-to-B commerce my whole career and I can tell you that requests from individuals to organizations who only do business with other businesses are ignored. They simply aren't in a position to sell in the quantities you're likely to want. You'd be best off finding a distributor that caters to small schools/universities/businesses.

 

 

Enjoy your stay!

Ok thanks for the reply! But do you know if Corning is a business to business company? I can't even find out. I really want to get my hands on some NGF 7S

I don't know for sure, but these days if you can't order from their website and you can't easily find a retail outlet that carries their products, then yes, they do B-to-B only. For most companies though, you can find a distributor, but even then, their minimum quantity requirements may make it "not for consumers."

Brands will increasingly handle their own e-commerce and rely less and less on local distribution partners. Why should they give away their profit margins? :phones:
