How the audit works

Send your list

Type your top items into the form, or submit it and reply to the confirmation email with your usage spreadsheet. Item names, catalog numbers, whatever you have.

We price it line by line

We match each item to an exact equivalent or the identical product from the same manufacturer. Same profile blades, same fixatives, same cassettes your printers already run.

Get your savings report

A clear side-by-side: your item, our item, your price, our price, projected annual savings. Numbers you can put in front of your administrator as-is.

Where labs spend the most

These are the categories where the audit finds the widest gaps.

Box of disposable microtome blades

Microtome blades

Low and high profile disposables. Often the single largest per-case overpay in the lab.

Tissue processing cassettes

Cassettes

Tissue and biopsy cassettes, taped or loose, in every color. Compatible with the printer you already own.

Rankin 10% neutral buffered formalin

Reagents

10% NBF, fixatives, alcohols, and xylene. Heavy, frequent orders where freight quietly eats your budget.

Formalin absorbing grossing pads

Grossing supplies

Neutralizing pads, scalpel blades, sharps handling, and bench protection you reorder every month.

Carbon filter for tissue processor

Instrument filters

Carbon and fume filters for Leica, Sakura, and Thermo instruments at a fraction of the OEM price.

Rankin charged microscope slides

Microscope slides

Charged and plain slides in 11 colors, clipped or 90 degree corners. Excellent tissue adhesion.

You don't have to switch suppliers.
You need a second source.

Keep your primary vendor. Move a handful of high-volume items to Rankin and let the two compete for the rest. Labs that run a second source pay less on every line, see fewer backorders, and never get held hostage by a price increase again. The audit shows you exactly which items to move first.

Budget control is part of your job. This makes it easy.

Numbers you can defend

Administration measures you on cost per case as much as turnaround time. The report gives you documented savings with exact SKUs and pricing, ready to drop into your next budget review. Finding money without touching quality or SOPs is the kind of win that gets noticed.

Hours you get back

Comparing supplier pricing item by item is an afternoon you don't have. We do the line-by-line work and hand you the finished comparison. You read it in ten minutes and decide.

What to expect

No obligation

Use every line, a few lines, or none. Place a small test order first if you want to check us out. Samples available on most consumables.

3-day turnaround

A rep matches your list line by line and emails your report within 3 business days of receiving it. Larger formularies can take a little longer, and we say so up front.

No disruption

Identical products swap in with nothing but the price changing. Items that need validation, like slides and stains, get samples first so you switch on your timeline.

Common questions

How fast do I get the report?
Within 3 business days for most lists. Very large formularies can take a little longer, and we'll tell you up front if yours will.
What format does my list need to be in?
Any format. A spreadsheet is easiest, but typed item names, catalog numbers, or a photo of your order sheet all work. Include monthly usage and current pricing if you have it. The more you give us, the sharper the report.
Who sees my supply list and pricing?
One Rankin account rep. Your list and your current pricing are your business, and we treat them that way. We never share them with anyone.
Is there a minimum order or contract?
No. No minimums, no contract, no fee for the audit. Order what makes sense, when it makes sense.
Will switching items disrupt my lab?
It depends on the item. Many products we quote are the identical product from the identical manufacturer, so nothing changes but the price. Items your lab has to validate before switching, like slides and stains, take more care. For those we send samples first so you can run them through your normal validation process and switch only when you're satisfied.

Two minutes to submit. Three business days to your report. Zero cost either way.
