Terms and Conditions of Sale

On this page you will find the terms and conditions governing purchase of products and/or services by you or your company from Life Technologies Corporation, a Thermo Fisher Scientific company (“we” or “us”). Because our products and services are so diverse, our terms and conditions vary depending on the type of product or service you are ordering.
