Exit Survey
 
 
Thank you for participating in this survey. We will be asking questions about various laboratory products including solvents, organics and inorganics, microscopy stains, chromatography columns, culture media, raw materials, lab water and reagents. It is important to answer each question in the survey. There are no right or wrong answers. If you are unsure of the exact answer, please provide your best guess.

Your inputs are very important to us. They will be kept strictly confidential and used in aggregate with other respondents. We estimate that this will take roughly 15-20 minutes.
