Bio-Rad is committed to supporting science education by providing high-quality tools for teaching and learning. In partnership with educators, we develop products designed for use in classroom and teaching laboratory environments.
To support educators and academic institutions, Bio-Rad offers education (EDU) products intended for teaching and training use in educational settings.
What are EDU products?
EDU products are identified by catalog numbers with an EDU suffix (for example, 1660003EDU). These products:
- Are intended for use in teaching laboratories
- Are functionally equivalent to and meet the same quality standards as standard versions
- May be eligible for special pricing for qualifying academic institutions
The EDU designation reflects intended educational use and pricing eligibility, not reduced capability.
Education pricing eligibility
EDU products may be eligible for education pricing for qualifying academic institutions, including schools, colleges, and universities.
Pricing availability and display varies by product and region.
Education pricing applies only to products used for educational purposes in classroom or teaching laboratory settings.
How to access education pricing
Educators are encouraged to contact their local Bio-Rad Customer Service team to confirm eligibility and pricing availability.
By applying for an academic account, customers affirm that EDU-designated products will be used solely for the education of students.
