The Lab Stockroom is a science and laboratory supply company based in Rochester, New York. We carry over 9,000 products from trusted manufacturers — and we ship most orders same or next business day.
From hBARSCI to The Lab Stockroom
Ben Pearson and Matt Bertrand founded hBARSCI in 2012 with their strong science backgrounds and a simple idea: buying lab supplies shouldn't be complicated. Over the years, the catalog grew from basic lab essentials to the broad general science offering it is today.
In 2026, hBARSCI became The Lab Stockroom — a new name that better reflects what we've become: a full-service science distributor with the depth of a large supplier and the responsiveness of a small team. The people, the products, and the commitment to getting your order right are the same. The experience is just better.
How We're Different
We believe buying science supplies should be simple, transparent, and efficient. That belief shapes everything about how we operate.

Most orders ship same or next business day. We don't sit on your order.
Human Support
When you call or email, you reach a team that can answer real questions about specs, compatibility, and applications — not scripted support.
