New Biobar launched in Biology
The Biology Department offically has a fully stocked Biobar with common supplies that are available for immediate pick up. Proceeds from the biobar will go back to the department via equipment purchases, upgrades and or repairs. Tony Papanicolaou from Chin-Sang Lab has spearheaded this endeavour with the intent to bring cost savings to researchers and benefits to the department. Most of the products listed on the Biobar website, molecularsolutions.ca , are available at a lower or equal price than the listed price of most major companies.
Since we deal in bulk purchasing, if you require any product that is not listed at the biobar, send an email to papanict@queensu.ca and a lower price could be negotiated for you. Some companies we work with will kindly provide a kickback to the biobar even if they can’t offer a lower price.
The biobar is located in RM2613 and is a self serve room. Just ask for Jeff or Tony if the door is locked, they are usually found in RM2426. You can purchase the items directly online at “molecularsolutions.ca” with a valid credit card; either from your own computer, or from the computer provided in the biobar.
Additionally this RM2613 also contains the Queen’s Diamed Depot. This is quality supply stock from a Canadian company, that can be purchased using the provided forms and your usual fund coding. Any items specially ordered through this biobar, that can be found on “diamed.ca”, arrive with free shipping, and usually within 2 business days.
The biobar will continually be updated with products of more demand. If you have a suggestion please email us so we can add it to the list.
We hope to see you soon!
