A standing order, also known as a blanket order, lets you schedule recurring shipments of a custom reference standard from a single manufactured batch, delivered on your timeline instead of reordered from scratch each time. Setting one up is a great way to improve your data quality, simplify your job, and extend the savings of volume pricing.
Lower Cost per Analysis
Since a standing order lets you draw from one larger batch instead of many small ones, the savings show up immediately.
Every custom standard we develop has a minimum batch volume—the same whether you order three ampuls or 300. A standing order lets you draw down more of that volume over time, instead of paying for it again with every small order.
For example, a standing order of 30 ampuls (shipped three per month) costs almost the same as a single order of three, since the minimum batch is identical either way. Ordering that same 30 ampuls across 10 separate monthly orders could cost nearly 10 times as much.
