We have revamped our website even further adding even more cost effective features. Our new website is even more user friendly. You will be able to obtain pricing for Fisher and VWR products, as well as all of the corresponding manufacturers' catalog numbers. Not only can you obtain current pricing but you can place a purchase order as well - true e-commerce! We hope you find the new website to be a valuable resource.

   • Product Search
     

     The most powerful feature of our site is the search engine. It's your gateway to our database of over three hundred thousand products.

     The "Search Inventory" field on the Chiron Home Page appears to the left and remains available on all subsequent pages. Enter product names, key words, supplier names or catalog numbers and our search engine goes to work for you. Once you locate the products you need, load them into your requisition by clicking on the "Order" button. Once you've found what you need, complete your requisition by going to either "View Cart" or "Check Out" and print a copy to send to your internal purchasing department or just to use as a reference.

     A successful search will present one or more items which could be your exact match. If you entered a distributor catalog number (Fisher or VWR), the manufacturer's catalog number will appear instead of the number entered. You can click on the "More Info" button which displays a second page of additional product information as well as the distributor's catalog number you entered. There are also three different prices displayed. "Price FOB Toledo" is freight on board in Toledo, Ohio USA.. "Price CIF USA" is the price to any city in the contiguous 48 States. This price might be useful to those who use the services of a freight forwarder. "Price CIF <destination country>" is a delivered price to the country you name when registering. All pricing is based on the assumption that your order/shipment will total 100 pounds or more. Orders/shipments that do not meet the 100 pound minimum may be subject to additional freight charges. Chiron will determine the method of shipment when CIF Destination pricing is appropriate. If another method of shipment is requested which is more expensive, the price difference will be added to the invoice.

   
    

   • e-Commerce
     

     The big advantage of the chironsci.com web site is that you can enter purchase orders electronically. Another time saving and efficient process. Let's say you wanted to purchase a pack of 02-539K - simply click on the "Order" button and the item is added to your "Shopping Cart"; (Note: The item appears at the bottom of the page titled "Shopping Cart Items") click on the "Check Out" button; the next page says "Please Select a Shipping Method".

     A. Your home country is entered as a default and if not changed you will be given "Price CIF <home country>" pricing. If this is your choice, simply change the "Shipping Method" to "Freight" and both "State" fields to "None".

     B. If you want "Price FOB Toledo", change the first "State" field to "None"; the "Shipping Method" to "Pickup" the second "State" field to "None" and the "Country" to "USA".

     C. If you want "Price CIF USA" change the first "State" field to "None"; the "Shipping Method" to "Freight" and the second "State" (e.g. Florida) to the state to which you will be shipping and the "Country" to "USA".

     You can put your purchase order number in the "Order Comments and Special Requests" field.

     Click on the "Continue" button.

     The next page titled "You will now be directed to enter your payment details" shows the "Product Cost" and "Handling" (Shipping) for the method picked on the previous page.

     Press "Order now!" and you arrive at the page where you can select your method of payment. Under "Other Payment Type" one can select "Net Terms" if you have an open account with Chiron Scientific, Inc.

     Click on the "Continue" button and the process is completed.

     It's that simple! We encourage you to explore the possibilities!

   Price Saving Feature
   

   On items where we have direct relationship with the manufacturer, you will be alerted with the red statement "Click on the Following Link for Manufacturer Direct Pricing." All pricing is for full case quantities but will definitely be more economical than sourcing from Fisher or VWR. Our web site  pricing will be the lowest available.

   Hints
    
   • Fisher numbers need hyphens XX-XXX-XXX
   • VWR numbers need hyphens XXXXX-XXX
   • Bel Art numbers need no letter prefix or hyphens. 210100000 not H21010-0000
   • Some experimentation might be required as both Fisher and VWR as well as the manufacturers fluctuate using hyphens and spaces.
      
   • Hazardous Items
     

     Some companies have stringent interpretations of hazardous items which could include thermometers to include bi-metal and even batteries. Special handling fees might be imposed for items which fall into these categories over which we have no control.
      

   • Chemicals

     Due to the hazardous nature of most chemicals and the difficulty of transporting both within the U.S.A. and abroad, Chiron Scientific, Inc. is not providing chemicals in their product offering.
