Place an Online Order

There are many ways to place an order online. You can add to your cart from product pages, search, as well as content and custom tools pages.

 

A fast way to order multiple items is to use Quick Order. Available at the top of each page of the site, using Quick Order you can bulk upload products, copy and paste multiple items, or manually add items to an order. Another effective method to order is to promote items to your cart from Save for Later, a Shared List, a Saved or Transferred Cart or to reorder from your Order History.

  • Add to cart from site product pages, search, content, or tools
  • Use Quick Order to upload bulk list, copy and paste items
  • Promote from Saved Cart, Saved List, or reorder from Order History.

Quick order tool

The 'Quick Order' tool can be used to add multiple products directly to the cart by entering catalog numbers using copy/paste or manually or to bulk upload many items to be added simultaneously.

 

Note: custom orders are not supported through Quick Order, except for exact reorders of Gibco® custom media, assays, or siRNAs. To order a new custom product, use the given design tool.

Shared lists, Saved carts, and Save for later

Shared lists

Add products to a new or existing list as you shop for products. Access your existing shared lists within the account drop down, and in the left navigation of your account dashboard. Export your list to excel or invite collaborators within your institution to access your list.

 

Saved carts

When you add items to your cart, they are automatically saved and can be found in your account dashboard under 'Saved Carts'. You have the option to perform actions like emailing, merging, copying, or deleting these carts. During the checkout process you can also transfer a cart to others with a thermofisher.com account linked to the same institution.

 

Save for later

"Save for Later" allows you to put aside items in your shopping cart that you do not want to buy right away but might want to consider in the future. It offers a convenient way to keep track of products for potential future purchases without the need to remove them from your cart entirely.

Enter promotions or quotes for special pricing

Once you are ready to checkout, you may add a quote number or promotion code below the cart summary by selecting the Apply button.
