"Browse" allows you to browse by product line and product, or by document category, and document type. If you select a specific product line or product, the document type box will be refreshed to only display those documents and document types for the selected product line or product. If you browse by document category and document type, the product box will refresh to only display product lines and products where you can find documents for the selected document category or document type. The filters can be removed by clicking again on the category. The number of available documents per category is available via the “Browse” box. Browsing can be useful if you cannot find the documents through the “Search” tabs. Please note that MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) documents are only available through the tab “MSDS.”

If you are looking for MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) documents please use the tab "MSDS." For reagent IFUs (Instructions for Use/Package Insert Sheets) please select the tab "IFU." In the IFU tab you can either use the "product code search" or the "keyword search." "Product code search" allows you to enter the product code into the field "REF," the lot number in the field "LOT," and the revision information in the third box (if available). Note, all fields are not required, but is recommended to help achieve a more specific results list. The "keyword search" functionality allows you to type in any keyword. The Advanced Search section allows you to specify a language and/or date range. The tab "Lot Specific Data" (Tables of Assigned Values, TAV) can be used for these special type of documents. There you can enter the product code into the field "REF" and/or the lot number into the field "LOT." You do not need to complete both fields, but it is recommended to help achieve a more specific results list. The Advanced Search section allows you to input a language and/or date range selection. The tab "General Search" allows you to enter one or more keywords in the white box. You can also set additional search criteria in the Advanced Search section. For example, you can select a specific language from the drop-down box and/or enter a lot number into the LOT field. The "Select Date Range" is helpful to ensure that the results displayed will only be based on the specified time frame. Note, "Refine" will replace the "Browse" boxes where you can apply additional filter(s) to further refine your result list.

This is dependent on the documents you are looking for. With browsing you can see all documents for a specific product line/product and/or document category and type. Please note that many documents will come up in the results list, which may require more time to load. Searching is recommended if you have specific documents in mind. "MSDS" documents are only available through the tab "MSDS." The tab "IFU" is a special search form for reagent IFUs (Instructions for Use/Package Insert Sheets). "Lot Specific Data" simplifies the search for TAVs (Tables of Assigned Values). The "General Search" tab is recommended if you would like to enter specific search terms, such as a product name or method. Note: "Refine" will replace the "Browse" boxes where you can apply additional filter(s) to further specify your result list.
