How to Request a Quote or Buy Labnet Products
Updated
Labnet does not sell directly to end users through its website. To get pricing or place an order, you use the site's My Quote tool to build a quote request, then complete the purchase through a dealer or your regional channel. Start by selecting your region, because the dealer network and contact path differ by location.
Step 1: Select your region
The site asks you to choose a region before you go further. The available options are:
- North America
- Europe
- Latin America
- Pacific Rim, Africa, and the Middle East
Your selection determines which dealers or distributors serve you, so pick the region where your lab is physically located rather than where your institution is headquartered, if those differ.
Step 2: Find the products you want
Browse by category from the main navigation. The catalog is organized into these groups:
| Category | Examples from the site |
|---|---|
| Centrifuges | Mini centrifuges, microcentrifuges, compact centrifuges |
| Liquid Handling | Manual pipettors, pipet controllers, electronic and repeating pipettors |
| Constant Temperature Equipment | Dry baths, hot plate stirrers, incubators, shaking incubators, hybridization ovens, water baths |
| Molecular Biology Equipment | Thermal cyclers, plate sealers, ENDURO gel boxes and systems, transilluminators, power supplies, gel documentation systems |
| Agitation Equipment | Vortexers, orbital shakers, 3D shakers, rotators, reciprocal shakers, rocking platforms |
| Plasticware | Disposable plastics, reusable labware |
There is also a Product Bundles section and a Centrifuge Buying Guide if you are still deciding between models. The site lists bestselling items such as BioPette Plus single-channel pipettors, the ENDURO GDS II Gel Documentation System, the 311DS Environmental Shaking Incubator, AccuBlock Digital Dry Baths, and Labnet Mini Microcentrifuges (C1601) — useful as a starting point if you want proven, commonly ordered products.
Step 3: Add products to My Quote
Use the My Quote feature to assemble your request:
- Open the product page for each item you want.
- Add it to your quote. The quote counter in the header tracks what you have added.
- Review your quote. If it is empty, the site shows "No items — You have no items in your quote, add products now to get started."
- Submit the quote request from the My Quote page.
Expected result: your selected products are compiled into a single quote request rather than you contacting the company item by item.
Common snag: the quote tool collects the products you want, but it is not a checkout. You will not pay on the site — pricing and payment are handled by the dealer or regional contact that follows up.
Step 4: Buy through a dealer or regional channel
Purchasing runs through the Dealers section and your selected region. Two paths are available from the site:
- Dealers — for finding a reseller or distributor who can quote prices and take your order.
- Contact Us — for reaching Labnet directly if you need help identifying the right channel.
If you already own a Labnet product, Register a Product is a separate action from buying and is used for product registration, not ordering.
What to have ready before you submit
To avoid back-and-forth, prepare:
- Your region and shipping country
- Exact product names or model numbers (for example, C1601 for the mini microcentrifuge)
- Quantities
- Your institution's purchasing or billing contact
Quick answers
Can I buy directly from labnetinternational.com? The site provides a quote tool and dealer/regional routing, not a direct online checkout. Orders go through dealers or your regional channel.
How do I get a price? Add items to My Quote and submit, or contact a dealer in your region. Prices are not shown as a self-service checkout on the site.
Where do I find manuals and documents? Use the Document Center in the navigation — separate from the buying process.
Who is Labnet? Labnet describes itself as "your trusted lab partner since 1984," supplying centrifuges, agitators, incubators, liquid handling, and electrophoresis products.
