Laboratory planning

Prepare a Laboratory BOQ from a Catalogue or Price List

Turn catalogue references into a clear laboratory purchase requirement with models, variants, pack sizes, quantities and delivery details.

Identify the exact item

  • Copy the catalogue code alongside the product name; similar names can refer to different models.
  • For equipment, record the selected capacity, dimensions, controller and required accessories.
  • For glassware and plasticware, specify capacity, material, graduation or joint specification where relevant.
  • For chemicals, record the stated grade and pack size exactly. Ask for a matching item rather than assuming a similar name is equivalent.

Use one row per requirement

BOQ fieldWhat to record
ReferenceBrand, catalogue edition or page, product code

QuantityNumber of units or packs, with the unit clearly stated
DocumentsRequired certificate or supporting documentation
AlternativesState whether staff may propose an alternative for review

Separate reference prices from the quotation

Use a price list to identify an item and its published reference price. Ask #CEC to confirm the current selling price, availability, taxes, freight and delivery terms in the written quotation before issuing your purchase order.

Send the requirement to #CEC

Choose View products beside a document to explore listed models, or use Request GST quotation to carry the document title into the enquiry. You can upload an existing BOQ through the enquiry form. If a search has no match, submit the requirement for review; a missing website listing does not confirm availability.

Frequently asked questions

Can I request an item that is not listed on the website?

Yes. Send the name, manufacturer or catalogue code and quantity through Request this requirement. #CEC will need to confirm whether it can be supplied.

Does downloading a price list place an order?

No. A download records your document interest. A quotation and your order confirmation are separate steps.
