Chemicals and Lab Plastics Stockroom
Our stockrooms are fully stocked with the most commonly purchased chemicals specific to our different campus locations. The prices for items sold at ChemCentral either match or are lower than the prices on BearBuy. We have also partnered with Polycarbin and their legacy manufacturers, NovasBio and Labcon, to carry their sustainable lab plastics and have them available for sale. You can test your pipettes with the tips in our Stockrooms or pick up a sample bag our team has created.
Hours of Operation: Staff available Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm except on UCOP-Designated Holidays
Our Stockrooms and Receiving locations can be found in the same physical location except for our Byers & Genentech Hall site.
Chemical RFID Tags
ChemCentral will only be providing labs with RFID tags for chemicals if their lab needs them. We will not be providing them to researchers anymore by July of 2026. Contact your DSA or EH&S post July.
We can also delete your used RFID tags from your lab's inventory. Stop by one of our Stockrooms and drop it off into our "Used Inventory Tags" container.
Each of our stockroom locations has a 24/7 Self-Checkout Station where you can purchase our products directly with no wait time. As long as you have a Risk and Safety account set up with us, you will be able to come down to our stockroom at your convenience to make any purchases of items on our product lists. We can also help set up your lab's ChemCentral account. Fill out our Account Activation Smartsheet and we will do the rest.
To get access to our ChemCentral stockrooms, fill out our Badge Access Smartsheet and we will be able to grant access within 24 hours.
Here is a Self Check-Out Guide with instructions on how to use a Self-Checkout Station.
