Products so identified must ship as hazardous materials (HAZMAT). We welcome you to contact our Customer Service department for additional details about HAZMAT shipping requirements and surcharge fees. To avoid most HAZMAT fees, if your order contains hazardous materials that require four or more shipping cartons, we will route via common carrier, which may not have any, or have greatly reduced, HAZMAT fees. Additionally, some products identified as HAZMAT may qualify for “Limited Quantity” regulations, eliminating the need for HAZMAT fees. HAZMAT orders are exempted from our 1-2-3 Day Delivery Program.
Our Gram stain kit delivers four essential reagents pre-measured for bacteriological testing. Used in food safety QC, clinical labs, and life sciences research, this kit simplifies the staining process and ensures consistent results across batches. Fast-tracked delivery with reliable stock levels means your QC team never pauses for supplies. Sign in to your account or contact your sales rep for organizational pricing.
