Purchasing Instructions
The University of Pittsburgh does not currently have a University-wide agreement in place with any providers that offer radioactive materials. However, you may purchase radioactive materials directly from PerkinElmer as follows:
- Contact the Account Representative included below to obtain a quote that reflects University pricing. Note: It is necessary to obtain a quote for every order because PerkinElmer does not have a hosted catalog or punch-out in the PantherExpress System.
- Orders of $15,000 or less - use the Non-Catalog Standard Form in the PantherExpress System.
- Orders over $15,000 - must be competitively bid or accompanied by a Directed or Sole Source Justification Form with the order, then placed through the Non-Catalog Standard Form in the PantherExpress System.

Purchasing Requirements
Radiation-producing equipment, for example, electron microscopes or cabinet x-ray units, require prior approval by Radiation Safety because the devices have regulatory requirements that must be met upon purchase and/or installation. Radiation Safety must provide approval prior to order placement.
Please check the “Radioactive” button in the PantherExpress System Standard Form when creating your requisition for radioactive items. This will appropriately route the requisition for review and approval by the Radiation Safety team.
Non-radioactive materials may not be ordered on the same requisition or P.O. as radioactive materials.
Once Radiation Safety approves an order, it is electronically submitted to the supplier. For more information about radioactive materials, visit the Radiation Safety website.
