Built around how science departments actually order
Purchase orders, termly budgets, and a technician who needs the rack to arrive exactly as counted — Test24 is set up for education buyers from the first quote to the final delivery.
Why Schools Order From Us
Less chasing, more teaching time
Science technicians don't have time to manage five suppliers for one practical lesson. We hold the core range in stock so a single order covers it.
Curriculum-Mapped Kits
Kits built to match GCSE, A-Level and primary science specifications, so technicians aren't guessing at quantities before term starts.
PO & Net-Terms Accounts
Set up a school or trust account to order against a purchase order, with invoicing on standard net-30 terms — no card payments required.
Breakage Cover
Flag breakages on receipt and we'll replace affected items on your next order at no extra charge — built for how glassware actually travels.
Standards & Safety
Equipment that passes inspection, not just the practical
Every item is selected against recognised laboratory safety standards, so your department's risk assessments and CLEAPSS guidance checks hold up.
