Avantor/VWR is fully supported with their complete product catalog of 100,000+ SKUs. Fisher Scientific and LabX Direct support is in development and will be added in future updates.

💰 How accurate are the prices?

Prices are pulled directly from supplier systems and reflect the most current public list prices. Contract pricing, volume discounts, and institutional pricing may differ — contact the supplier for account-specific quotes.

📦 Can I filter by stock availability?

Yes! Set the "Stock Status Filter" to "inStock" to see only products that are currently available for immediate shipment, or "outOfStock" to track backordered items.

🔄 How often should I run the scraper?

For price monitoring, weekly runs are ideal. For stock availability tracking, daily runs catch restocking events faster. Equipment catalogs typically update weekly.
