Purchasing Radioactive Material

After a Principal Investigator has received approval to purchase radioactive material, orders may be placed using the Yale Procurement department's online ordering program called SciQuest . DO NOT PLACE ORDERS FOR RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS DIRECTLY THROUGH THE YALE PURCHASING DEPARTMENT!

All orders must be approved by Radiation Safety prior to processing. SciQuest automatically routes radioactive material orders through Radiation Safety for this approval.

Orders are most commonly placed with Amersham Inc. (GE Healthcare), Dupont NEN (Perkin Elmer), and ICN Corp. (M+P Biomedical), but can be ordered through any vendor. Many items are shipped from these companies the same day they are ordered and will be delivered by OEHS to your lab on the following day.

Tips for success when placing radioactive material orders in SciQuest may be found here. Please call 785-3552 with any questions related to the purchase of radioactive materials.
