The following vendors offer reliable services and provide excellent products at a competitive price.  Representatives from many of these vendors have helped me get exceptional deals for lab equipment and other large purchases.  As I outline in the book, seek out account representatives from vendors.  They can provide additional support and are often able to provide additional (and often significant) discounts off catalogue price.
