6 Key Lab Supply Purchasing Pains and Solutions
Overview
You’ve just seen in The Independent UK how modern science is held back by outdated procurement. Scientists spend up to six hours each week tracking orders, while procurement teams lose days chasing confirmations and breakthroughs lose momentum.
The result?
- Nearly 90% of researchers have faced experiment delays from backorders
- 67% wouldn’t recommend their current ordering process
- Adding a new supplier can take 16–26 days — time no lab can afford to waste.
This report digs deeper: how much time is truly lost, where the bottlenecks hide, and the financial implications most labs don’t track. You’ll also see what R&D teams say the ideal procurement experience must deliver to match the pace of discovery.
If unlocking more time for science and less for admin matters to your organisation, you’ll want to see what labs transforming procurement are doing next.
