As of Monday February 27, 2023, the Bio-Rad punchout within the Bobcat Buy (“BCB”) system, has been upgraded with enhanced features. The Bio-Rad punchout, an online catalog for one of our preferred suppliers for scientific supplies contracted via the Intra-University Council Purchasing Group consortium, now includes:

• Level II search capability: Level II search functionality allows you to search our punchout catalogs from the BCB homepage. Bio-Rad catalog items will appear in BCB homepage search. The search does include price, if you click on the “Add To Cart” link, the item will be added to the cart and you will be able to complete the purchase requisition in Bobcat Buy. If you want detailed information on the item, you can click the product description.

• Confirmation tab: Bio-Rad purchase orders will display a “confirmation” tab that includes an estimated shipping date. The shipping date in the confirmation tab is static once the order is placed and is not updated afterward.
