Speed 3 / Price 5 / Quality 4

Alfa is our supplier for some of the analytical reagents we use in our R&D department. we order a wide range of their analytical reagents ranging from organic to inorganic chemicals. all of their products yields high performance, accuracy, purity, and quality. if you want a list of their products you do have to request it, the product info is not available on their website. they have bulk order pricing which provides a substantial savings in cost. they always have particular items on sale, sometimes up to 80% off. we have ordered in bulk with them because we go through so much product so we were able to get a great deal from them. we also use their HPLC solvents, acids and bases, pH test strips in our research labs, and NMR solvents. all their products are priced fairly and the bulk orders price them lower than other chemical manufacturers we have worked with

Strengths: chemist oriented research products, high quality analytical reagents, platinum lab ware, wide range of chemical reagents available, inorganic material available
