For those who follow the path of chemical research, laboratory chemicals are one of the indispensable factors. However, for beginners, it is relatively difficult to buy the exact chemicals they need. This article will share the simplest and most effective experience of buying laboratory chemicals.

1. Consult people

Laboratory chemicals are widely sold on the market, especially the closer to the laboratory, the more crowded the addresses selling chemicals. But for first year students or newcomers, it is not easy to buy good chemicals. First you need to define the following basic criteria:

- Type of chemicals to buy

- Quantity to buy less or more

- The address where you can buy at the best price

- Cost to buy chemicals

After you have identified the above problems, you should consult your predecessors, maybe seniors, teachers, they will have a lot of experience and share useful information with you. . With simple experiments, you can choose to buy chemicals from Indian or Chinese firms such as Son Tou or Xilong, because the accuracy is not high. With important topics, requiring almost absolute accuracy, you will have to look to brands from the US, Europe...

Of course, there will be a certain price difference. In case the products of India and China cannot meet the requirements, you will definitely have to spend money on other brands. You can take advantage of chemicals that the predecessors have left over and don't use, but make sure to make sure they are still in use, which will save a lot of money compared to buying a whole new one.

2. Searching for information on the internet

Google is the most effective assistant and never turns its back on you. In case you do not know the seniors, nor do you have a teacher to ask, find out information online. The priority search order is: Supplier - product brand - price.

If you find a great supplier, they will give you a lot of useful information for your lessons and research. Even many interested suppliers will help you advise and choose the right chemical for your topic and budget. Such knowledge will be a valuable baggage that will follow you throughout your career in chemical research.

3. Notes when buying laboratory chemicals

Even though you have been instructed, you may not remember all of them, or buy them by mistake. To avoid this situation, when asking or finding information online, do not forget to have a pen and paper handy and take notes carefully.

Do not be greedy and buy some chemicals for later use. If you don't use them, they're just trash, and you're like throwing money out the window. Buy the necessary substances for the lesson, the immediate study.

Do not spend too much on European chemicals that India or China can replace.
