Stockrooms
The Department of Biological Sciences at Idaho State University has knowledgeable staff and a variety of resources available to support our departmental teaching activities and our broader educational outreach needs for the Pocatello and Southeast Idaho communities. The primary function and personnel of the stockrooms is to provide direct support for laboratory education courses.
- Fill out and submit the Stockroom Requisition form to the appropriate Laboratory Supplies Supervisor at least 7 business days prior to the delivery date.
- The stockroom may not have specific items readily available, and shipping can vary from vendor to vendor; ordering two weeks prior is recommended.
- Do not set the exact start time of your lab sections as the time/date needed for the order to be delivered.
- Handwritten and verbal orders are not accepted.
Forms
These forms are fill-able. 1) download, 2) open in Adobe Reader or MS Word, and 3) fill it out before printing.
