What is the Promega New Lab Startup Program?
The Promega New Lab Startup Program is a one-time discount program for new academic, government, and early-stage biotech research labs. Qualifying labs receive 50% off list price on Promega reagents for one order up to $10,000, 20% off list price on select lab instruments through a quote, and personalized product guidance from Promega scientists. The program helps new labs stretch startup funds and first-grant budgets while they set up core workflows.
Who qualifies for the Promega New Lab Startup Program?
Academic, government, and early-stage biotech labs qualify if they meet at least one of three conditions: the lab was started within 1 year of registration, the lab moved to a new institution or location within 3 months of registration, or the lab received its first research grant. New principal investigators (PIs) and new faculty members qualify under the first condition when they register within a year of opening their lab. Promega makes the final eligibility decision.
Which Promega reagents are included in the 50% new lab discount?
The 50% reagent discount covers Promega reagents for luciferase reporter assays, cell health and cell viability assays, DNA and RNA purification, protein expression and analysis, PCR, and cloning and DNA markers. That includes widely used products such as CellTiter-Glo® cell viability assays, Dual-Luciferase® and Nano-Glo® reporter assays, and GoTaq® PCR master mixes. Transfection reagents, biochemicals, labware, consumables, and custom or early access products are excluded.
Which lab instruments are 20% off for new labs?
New labs can get 20% off Promega list price on select models from four instrument families: Maxwell® systems for automated DNA and RNA extraction, the Spectrum Compact CE System for Sanger sequencing and fragment analysis, GloMax® plate readers for luminescence, fluorescence, and absorbance detection, and the MyGlo® Reagent Reader for benchtop cell viability reads. The instrument discount is provided through a quote and does not stack with other offers or previously quoted pricing.
What is the best way for a new lab to save on reagents and lab instruments?
Plan purchases around your first experiments and combine the programs available to new labs. Through the Promega New Lab Startup Program, a new lab can place one consolidated reagent order at 50% off and request a 20% instrument quote. New labs can also receive a 10% credit on Eppendorf purchases over $20,000 through the Eppendorf New Lab Startup Program.
