EnglishWhat types of lab supplies and chemicals does Capitol Scientific carry?
Updated
Capitol Scientific is a broad-line laboratory supplier: its catalog spans lab equipment, reagents and specialty chemicals, animal science products, and the glassware, consumables, and accessories that go with them. It is a reasonable place to check if you are sourcing across several categories at once — for example, equipping a new bench with a balance, a water bath, and the matching consumables — rather than buying a single instrument type. The site organizes this catalog by product category and by manufacturer, so you can browse either by what the item is or by who makes it.
Main product categories
The homepage presents two top-level groupings — Lab Supplies and Reagents & Chemicals — with lab equipment and animal science products sitting alongside them in the navigation. Within lab equipment, the catalog is broken into the following families:
| Category | Examples of what's listed |
|---|---|
| Balances & weighing | Laboratory balances, balance accessories, lab and industrial weighing scales |
| Centrifuges | Centrifuges, microcentrifuges, and their accessories |
| Baths | Boiling, circulating, coliform, general purpose, shaking, and tissue floatation water baths; recirculating chillers and thermostats; bath fluids and additives |
| Furnaces | Ashing, box, muffle, and tube furnaces; combustion boats; furnace controllers |
| Evaporation | Centrifugal and rotary evaporators, plus rotary evaporator glassware, vacuum pumps, vacuum controllers, and recirculating chillers |
| Electrochemistry | pH meters, conductivity/TDS meters, multiparameter meters, ORP/redox testers, salinity and sodium meters, plus probes, calibration standards, and electrode holders, washers, and cleaners |
| Fume hoods & enclosures | Fume hoods, glove boxes, and glove box gloves |
| Density & specific gravity | Hydrometers, hydrometer sets, jars, cylinders, racks, and storage cases; refractometers |
| Desiccators & drying | Vacuum and non-vacuum glass and plastic desiccators, desiccator cabinets, plates, and accessories |
| Liquid handling | Bottletop dispensers, chemical dispensing equipment, microplate aspirators and pipettors, repeating syringes |
| Monitoring | Chart recorders, temperature and humidity data loggers, hygrothermographs |
| Digestion & gas | Digestion tubes and Kjeldahl connecting bulbs; nitrogen gas generators |
| Measurement & specialty | Anemometers and flow meters, calipers, manometers, gauges |
The navigation also includes an Animal Science Products section (for example, animal restrainers and Drosophila products), which is separate from the general equipment list.
Reagents, chemicals, and accessories
Beyond instruments, the site positions itself as a source for reagents and specialty chemicals, and the catalog carries the supporting items that typically accompany them: glassware, consumables, electrodes and calibration standards, data loggers, and replacement parts such as rotary evaporator glassware or centrifuge accessories. If your list mixes a chemical order with the hardware to handle it, that combination is within scope here.
How to find what you need
Two browsing paths are built into the catalog:
- By product category — use the Lab Equipment, Lab Supplies, and Reagents & Chemicals sections to drill down from a broad family (baths) to a specific type (shaking water baths).
- By manufacturer — the site states it carries products from 300+ manufacturers, and there is a shop-by-manufacturer path. This is useful when a protocol or an approved-vendor list specifies a brand.
Several account and service links sit in the header and footer: Login/Register, Store Locator, Procurement Portals, Request COA, Quick Order, and Customer Center, with a phone number listed for assistance. These are worth knowing about if you need certificates of analysis or are ordering against a procurement system.
Practical notes before you order
- JavaScript is required. The site displays a notice that JavaScript must be enabled (or the browser upgraded) to view it, so plan for a standard modern browser.
- Discontinued items exist. There is a manufacturer-discontinued-items section (for example, a PRO Scientific discontinued items page), which tells you some listed lines are being phased out — check availability before building a specification around a specific catalog number.
- Pricing is not shown in the material reviewed here. No price lists or payment details appear in the available page content, so treat cost and purchasing terms as something to confirm through the site's account, quote, or customer service channels rather than assuming published pricing.
If your need is a single specialty chemical or one instrument, this catalog will likely have it, but the bigger advantage is consolidating a multi-category lab order — equipment, chemicals, and the consumables between them — under one supplier and one procurement path.
