Where can a European research group order lab supplies in small quantities, on its own project budget?
Luminix Health supplies research institutes and university labs across Europe, with 150.000 articles that can go on one purchase order per project. You order the quantity the experiment needs, and each project gets its own quote and invoice.
That is the short answer. The longer one starts with how your week actually goes.
Why does every grant need its own paperwork trail?
Look at how a research group actually spends. Three projects, three budgets, each with its own cost code and its own end date. One PhD student needs a single box of tips, a postdoc needs a sorbent for a column run, and the lab manager is trying to keep it all apart for the next audit. When every order goes through a different vendor, the budget split happens by hand, afterwards.
We help you keep the split at the source. Place one order per project and you get one quote and one invoice per project, so each purchase books against a single budget with no reallocation later.
How do you work with the purchasing department instead of around it?
Most researchers do not choose their vendors freely, and that is fine. Purchasing needs a vendor that can be onboarded once, with a clear VAT number, a verifiable registration and predictable terms. Our VAT number and FAMHP registration are public, so the onboarding file is short. After that, researchers send lists and purchasing approves one quote instead of five.
Can you order one bottle instead of a pallet?
Academic work rarely runs in bulk. A method is tested on a small batch before anyone commits. We help you buy at the quantity the work needs: a single pack of filters, one jar of sorbent, one set of beakers. Your quote states the shipping terms, so you can decide whether to combine small orders across your group. We handle small orders for a single project just as readily as large bulk or recurring orders, and the larger or more regular the volume, the lower your unit price.
What if the next project needs something completely different?
Research changes direction; your vendor list should not have to. Our range covers glass and plastic labware, pipettes and tips, filtration, reagents and chemicals with SDS/REACH, chromatography media, culture media, instruments and safety supplies. When a new method comes in, you search one catalogue first, and if an item is not there we tell you plainly.
What if you buy the same items in volume?
Some lines come back every month: tips, gloves, filters, a standard solvent. For those, a one-off order each time is wasted effort. Send us your expected volumes and we prepare a tailored volume quote, and where it suits your planning we set up recurring or scheduled deliveries. One point of contact handles your purchasing, so your team never has to explain its lab twice.
Why is a university harder to supply than a single lab?
A university is not one customer. It is a purchasing department with its own rules, a dozen faculties, research groups on separate grants and teaching labs that run on the academic calendar. Each of them needs something different, often in the same week, and each answers to a different budget holder.
We help you keep that structure intact. The university opens one account; research groups and teaching labs order under it, and every project still gets its own quote and invoice.
What about teaching labs at the start of each semester?
Practicals run on a fixed rhythm: the same gloves, pipettes, glassware, filters and basic reagents, in larger quantities, just before term starts. Send us the list a few weeks ahead and we quote it as one order, so the material is on the shelf when the first students walk in.
