Carolina will happily sell hardware, software, flasks, anything that
doesn't resemble a chemical or pathogen to anyone, but they will not sell
chemicals to individuals. To buy chemicals from Carolina or any other
research/wholesale supplier (Sigma, Fisher, etc) you must either be a
business or work through one, or buy from secondary suppliers, such as the
orchid source mentioned in this thread.
