Ordering Product

Due to the hazardous and regulated nature of many of our products, Sigma-Aldrich personnel must first review your web site registration information and activate your profile before on-line ordering is enabled. If you wish to place orders through the web site, please complete the registration form and be sure to include your billing and shipping addresses, as well as any information that will assist our staff during the set-up process (mainly, your organization's account number or your PIN with Sigma-Aldrich). Successful completion of the registration form (or Order Permit Request form if you had previously registered) will notify us of your request to order through the site. You should expect a response from your Sigma-Aldrich office within two business days.
