I'll also add a kind of "filter", so let's say when you write "Sodium" it might also show SODIUM hydroxide or SODIUM carbonate right now, I'll have to add some kind of system so it automatically only shows the element SODIUM.

I'll make it freely available for everyone! ( if I didn't already mention that eariler in the thread. ) Plus I'll probably also make the source code public, so if anybody wants to make a tweak they can do it.

Hi my friend.

I already replied your post asking for price of reagents but I think you've a very, very hard job on your hands. prices changes like Dollar and EUROs quotation changes. They can change everyday and every time. Like some actors here in this Blog already have said it's important to know which country do you want to deliver the goods cause the Customs specifications that's different country by country. It will be a difficult job to create something like you're wiching for, but I'm really wish you a good luck!

Thank you!
I mean, SciFinder already has done this. What I am really trying to do is just make a "SciFinder" for suppliers that sell to private individuals, and is completely free. But I will do my best to include shipping costs etc.

Right now I am working on adding suppliers in the U.S.

I am using this forums list of suppliers, but I do not know which ones you guys prefer.

Right now I have added Carolina Chemical, Science Company and Elemental Scientific. Which ones do you all think I should add next?

Well, Elemental Scientific is shutting down and clearing house, so you might actually have to remove them.

If you are willing to include suppliers that are not officially chemical suppliers but sell a good variety of chemicals, Duda Diesel and Seattle Pottery Supply are among the most popular.

As far as actual chemical suppliers go, Ambeed has basically everything, but while they will allow you to purchase with a personal credit card, I’m not sure if they ship to residential addresses. The only time I ordered stuff for myself from them, I had it shipped to my university address just in case. So someone else will have to confirm if they truly ship to individuals. Same goes for Oakwood Chemical, Combi-Blocks, and aablocks.




Come check out the Official Sciencemadness Wiki
They're not really active right now, but here's my YouTube channel and my blog.

Ah, didn't know that - will remove Elemental Scientific now then.. It was actually so difficult to add Elemental Scientific :/

And yes, I can definitely still add Duda Diesel and Seattle Pottery Supply. I geuss amateur chemistry is all about getting chemicals from accessable sources, so it makes sense to add them.

I am pretty sure Ambeed ships to residental addresses, so I'll add them too.

Thanks for the list!

I have compiled a list of potential suppliers in the US. Keep in mind that I have not purchased anything from these sites, and so may need some vetting before adding them to your software. I tried to exclude sites already listed on this site. Also, I have not verified that all of these, sell to residential addresses.

Some of these I think will be a good addition. There is one that specifically sells solvents and other chemicals relatively cheaply, and for amateur purposes. There is also another site I found that sells polymer precursors. I hope it helps! :D

I have ordered many things over the years from McMaster-Carr as an individual. The shipping method is fast but pricey. The website is simply www.mcmaster.com
