 Fisher Scientific  FAQ's Catalogue Searching Tips
Catalogue Searching Tips 

A. The catalogue has the following search parameters and searches can be refined by using the search tips listed under each parameter below.

Catalogue
By clicking on this box, and selecting a catalogue name you will reduce the range of products over which the search will take place. As an example; selecting Chromatography will reduce the range of products to those within the chromatography catalogue, approximately 5000.

Product Code
In this box you can enter a part number, or fragment of a part number, for the product you are interested in. This part number, or fragment, can be either, a Fisher part number, or a suppliers part number. Each of the Fisher products has the capability to support four other part numbers from other suppliers. An example might be BNB-294-090F or 2110614, both relate to the same 25ml glass beaker. If an entry is made in this box it will override all other entries made in the keyword and brand/manufacturer boxes.

Keywords
In this box you can enter a description of the product you are interested in. The sequence of the words you enter is not important ie 'glass beaker 50ml' will return the same products as 'beaker glass 50ml'. The following are some examples that illustrate how the keyword can be used to extract smaller ranges of products. Each of the descriptive words does not need to be used in full, 'coni fla' is sufficient for conical flask.

Keyword Entry Result
Beaker pack
Returns all the packs of beakers, no single items.
Balance V
Returns all the electrical items, no mechanical balances.
Balance 2000 x 0.1
Returns all balances with a 2000g maximum and 0.1g division.
"ph meter"
Returns only ph meter not products with ph and meter in the description.
Cent rpm
Returns centrifuge equipment no consumables ie tubes

Brand/Manufacturer
To support the keyword data a brand or manufacturer can be entered in this box. This provides an additional level of data filtering when performing the initial search.

Include Replaced Products
If this box is checked the search will return all replaced/withdrawn products along with the normal search results. The replaced/withdrawn products are shown in grey text with two asterisks (**) to highlight them.
