VWR International: Synergy in Action

Or has it? While Sears and Ward’s catered to consumers, farmers and tradespeople, VWR International offers one-stop shopping for scientific research laboratories. Prowl through its North American 2,600-page, hardcover catalog, and you can find cabinetry and shelving, microscopes, incubators, chemicals, recorders, wipers, centrifuge tubes, pipet tips, and safety equipment. Price points range from $6.60 for a pack of 100 stoppers to $25,000 for a freeze dryer. In fact, buyers can equip an entire facility with products from VWR.
