IT purchasing

NCMM IT will assist in purchasing the most suitable system for your needs, including laptops, desktops, servers, printers, and scanners. Before ordering supplies and software you must seek approval for the purchase from your group leader. Once approval is in order, read about system order procedures for IT at NCMM and contact one of our IT officers to start filling out the system purchase form.

Lab consumables

• Supply Center → On the 2nd floor, right through the lunch room with the red sofas, NCMM keeps a couple of fridges with basic lab consumables from Thermo Fisher Scientific. Please inform your groups purchasing officer (rekvirent) immediately, after taking something out. Your group must pay for outtake and order a refill. It is possible to add new items to the supply center. If it´s in the Thermo Fisher catalog, ask your purchasing officer if it could be ordered. Every Wednesday the fridge gets refilled (if Thermo Fisher gets the order in time). Using the supply center saves us a little bit of money, since NCMM don't have to pay freight for these consumables.
• Lab consumables ordered by the groups → Your groups purchasing officer (rekvirent) is in charge of all practicalities when it comes to purchase. Your group leader must approve before ordering. And then the purchasing officer places the order in UiOs purchasing system, and will keep you updated as to when and where the ordered items arrive. Usually all incoming wares are placed in the reception, Carlos will pass it around if he has time. But you could (and should!) check in with the reception, when you know that ordered items are incoming.
