Chemical Purchasing Process

Shoppers and Requisitioners can order both trackable and non-trackable chemicals via UGAmart. These orders will be reviewed by safety personnel for hazard warnings and recorded in Chematix when applicable. To record and properly route all hazardous chemicals, you will need to provide the Chematix storage location with the order.

  1. Select your desired chemicals in UGAmart and add to a cart.

Non-Hazardous Lab Chemicals:

Prior to December 2020, both hazardous and non-hazardous laboratory chemicals were routed to Central Chemical Receiving, barcode-labeled, and tracked in the Chematix chemical inventory system.  Starting in December 2020, only hazardous chemicals are routed for barcode-labeling and Chematix tracking.  Some laboratories prefer to track all items regardless of hazard status in order to monitor on-hand quantities and track other container details.  If you wish to continue tracking non-hazardous chemicals, there are two options. 

  • Option 1:  When ordering chemicals in UGAmart, be sure that the shipping address is listed as 2037C CHEMICAL RCVG WEST DOCK and that you have designated the Chematix storage location using the specific field provided in the shipping section of the order. 
     
  • Option 2:  Manually enter non-hazardous items into the Chematix system when they are delivered directly to your lab.  The Environmental Safety Division (706-542-5801) provides free barcodes and the manual Chematix entry procedure is available at this link.
