Fisher Scientific Reviews

Fisher Scientific does not back up their products

Speed 3 / Price 3 / Quality 1

Bought a lab oven and it was delivered in January 2022. It sat in the box til June because we were waiting to have it validated. One year later In June of 2023 , during a cycle, it blue a fuse. Replaced the fuse and it lasted til December. Now it blows a fuse in a week. Fisher Scientific basically said too bad, it's over a year old so we can't help you. The oven was $3,000 and validation $4,000.00. You would expect the oven to last longer than that. It seems this company is starting a downward turn.

My company contracts Fisher Scientific to supply all of our lab equipment for our 3 locations. They have very high quality products that are reliable, accurate and never give us any issues. Due to their high quality we never have to worry about the tools we are using and we can focus on producing the best product possible. I have also had a chance to work with both their sales and customer service teams and it has been a pleasure. They are highly knowledgeable and work hard to make sure exactly what we need with a quick turn time. I would highly recommend using Fisher Scientific as they do not disappoint.

We ordered our microscope lamps from them in the past. These lamps are great for when your soldering or doing inspections of circuit board tracers. They mount nicely to your work benches and are fairly easy to move around if need be. Besides light bulb changes their really isn't anything you should be concerned about.

Strengths: Great supplier of lab equipment. We have order from them a couple of times before and we have always received a great product and service. They really go out of their way to please the customer.

Needs to improve: We ordered some microscope lamps form them in the past and never had any issues with them.

Our basic chemicals (solvents and acids) are from Fisher Scientific since they are one of the industry leaders, but more importantly, their chemicals are consistent from lot to lot, with VERY LITTLE variation. Additionally, their bioreagents are made on dedicated lines, which is critical for maintaining purity. I haven’t had any issues with my cells when using Fisher Scientific chemicals.

Strengths: Chemicals, General lab supplies: beakers, graduated cylinders, magnetic stir bars;

Needs to improve: Their chemicals can be costly, but they come with all the appropriate certification, labels, and packaging

Overall I've had a positive experience with Fisher. Prices are good and they ship fast.

Strengths: I've used Fisher Scientific to supply me with lab equipment and supplies for over 20 years. They have one of the biggest catalogs out there and stock a huge variety of brand name and generic supplies for any R&D Lab.

Needs to improve: As with most mail-order style businesses, if you have questions you'll get limited answers.
