Supplying Namibia’s Laboratories & Schools

Yes — send the practical-work list from your syllabus and we will convert it into a stocked, priced order: CP reagents in school-appropriate quantities, indicators and buffers, glass reagent bottles, silica gel for the balance cabinet. We flag the lines that need controlled storage (concentrated acids, oxidisers like permanganate and chromates) and suggest safer substitutions where the curriculum allows. One start-of-term delivery, one invoice for the bursar, and a reorder list kept on file for next year.

Yes — the Go Bio buffer solutions, 1413 µS and 12.88 mS conductivity standards, PC5 testers and refractometers are shelf stock. It matters because standards are dated consumables: a buffer freighted for three weeks and stored hot arrives with part of its life gone, and labs that calibrate weekly burn through bottles. Local stock means you buy fresh, small and often — which is exactly how calibration consumables should be bought. Put them on a standing order with your reagents.

Usually, yes. The ACE catalogue behind our agency is far deeper than our shelf stock, and for genuinely exotic items our import desk quotes landed cost and lead time from other suppliers. Give us the exact name, grade (CP/AR), CAS number if you have it, and quantity — precision here prevents the classic wrong-grade delivery. For method-critical items we recommend ordering a term ahead; the sourcing service is reliable but not overnight.

Deliberately. School orders are reviewed for storage class and quantity — we would rather query a line than supply a litre of something a school storeroom should not hold. Every hazardous item ships with its SDS, concentrated acids and oxidisers are packed separately and labelled for segregated storage, and we advise on dilute-stock alternatives where teaching value is identical. Teachers can also phone the counter for handling advice at no charge; a two-minute call beats an incident report.
