How can I find a product in the online catalog?
Products can be found several ways. A Catalog Search Box is available on the side navigation
bar of every page to quickly find a product. An Advanced Search is available by clicking
on the magnifying glass icon at the top of the page. Also, you can drill down through
different product categories within the catalog to view the products.
How does the catalog search work?
If you want to quickly find a product or accessory, the Search function allows you to quickly search
through thousands of products to find related information. A Catalog Search Box is available on the
side navigation bar of every page to quickly find a product. The search field allows you to search for
products by entering any one of the following pieces of information:
- Enter a valid Cole-Parmer item number in the search field (i.e. P-10270-30 will take you immediately to Intrinsically Safe Anemometers).
- Enter at least four characters of a valid Cole-Parmer item number to return items that contain that search criteria (P-05656- will return items that contain P-05656)
- Enter a Keyword (i.e., such as pipettes).
- Enter a Page Number from the 2003-2004 General Cole-Parmer catalog in the search field (i.e., for page 12, enter 12).
- Enter the beginning of a valid Manufacturer Part Number.
After entering the information, click on Go or Search.
You can further define you searches by adding "and" or "or" to your searches.
For example:
'Masterflex and pumps' will return all items that have
both 'Masterflex' and 'pumps' |
Returns less results |
'Masterflex or pumps' will return all items that have
either 'Masterflex' or 'pumps' |
Returns more results |
The search does not employ wild card characters.
The results will be displayed on the Search Results page. To view an item displayed from the Search, click
on the related link.
How do I use the table of contents?

- Click on the name of the group you wish to view.

What does the product filter do?
The Product Filter allows you to filter a list of products based on a particular product feature. When
viewing a list of products, options will be available in the Product Filter gray bar located at the top of the products list.
To filter the product list:
- Click on one of the features located in the Product Filter bar above the products (i.e., for Air Blowers, your choices are by type, flow range, or minimum operating depth).
- To compare two or more products, click on the checkbox to the left of the products you wish to view and click on the Compare button located at the top of the product list. You will be limited to comparing 20 items at a time.
