Notice: For large orders, please give a courtesy warning to the Stockroom by emailing us at stockroom@pitt.edu. As we have limited space, unexpectedly large orders can cause major issues for other customers by suddenly depleting our on-hand stock and overwhelming our holding area. A warning allows us to order replacement stock ahead of time, reduce backorders, and prepare for the labor involved. This is especially relevant for large orders of ethanol and 20L solvents.
How to Order
Step 1: Access PantherExpress
Log in to my.pitt.edu, complete Duo authentication, and click The PantherExpress System tile. If it is not visible, click See More. If you do not have PantherExpress access, view the DSSS catalog and relay your request to your department buyer; for questions regarding account activation, contact accountrequests@cfo.pitt.edu.
Step 2: Open the DSSS Punchout
From the PantherExpress Shopping Dashboard, scroll to the Internal (University) Suppliers section and click the Dietrich School Scientific Stockroom tile. The punchout opens on the Fisher Scientific platform as DSSS inventory is managed through Fisher’s ULS system.
