Launching Our Newly Reconfigured Web Site


June 2, 2005

We are very pleased to announce we are launching a newly reconfigured web site: www.bd.com/ds. Our goal in reconfiguring this web site was to create a user-friendly site where customers can access all relevant product information.

The first button on the navigation toolbar is the Product Center . Pressing this button will guide you to our menu of products by category:

Upon clicking on a product category, you will have access to the full range of products for that category. Then it's just a matter of drilling down to your specific product of interest. Once you have selected a product, a Product Summary page will appear and a Related Documents toolbar listing all of the technical information for that product including the Product Insert, Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), Certificate of Analysis (COA) and much more. In other words, all of the technical information available will be at your fingertips to download, print or e-mail as you wish.

Two other important buttons on the navigation tool bar are Technical Center and Learning Center . At the Technical Center, you will find Documents , Services , Contact Information and Literature Requests . At the Learning Center, you will find Newsletters , Events , Biodefense , Training Schedule , ASM Lecture Series and Webinars .

We hope you find our new web site useful.
Happy surfing!
