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 match or are lower than the prices on BearBuy. We also have partnered with Polycarbin to carry their sustainable lab plastics and have them available for sale. We have Polycarbin samples in each of our stockrooms. Come down with your pipettes and test out the product or pick up our prepared sample bags before deciding to purchase them!
ChemCentral can also provide labs with RFID tags for chemicals if their lab needs them. We can also delete your used RFID tags from your lab's inventory. Just stop by 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 needed. We can also set up your lab's 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. Select the location tab on the menu at the top of the page and select a location to find it's location specific product list.
Lab Coat and Safety Eyewear Distribution
Lab coat distribution and laundry service is now handled by ChemCentral. Safety eyewear is also now distributed through our stockrooms.
UCSF Campus employees and researchers will be able to obtain clean lab coats, in their size, as soon as they want and need it! To reduce inconvenient wait times due to laundry servicing and sorting, UCSF will no longer be providing personalized assigned lab coats.
Simply bring in your used lab coat to a ChemCentral location, drop off the used coat, select a clean one, and scan it using our self-checkout kiosk! Don’t worry lab coats and laundry service will still be free of cost!
