I am a hospital Laboratory manager. Just got informed by the company who supplies reagents for our Chemistry instrumentation that all supplies and reagents are currently on backorder and allocation due to issues with the supply chain and also due to the shifting from reagent and consumable production to Covid testing manufacturing. Called a couple of other managers in our system, they're running on fumes.

it's only a matter of time before construction in this country comes to a screeching halt dues to material and labor shortages.

Still waiting on some blood work I got done last week to be processed. Had like 5 different tests ordered and one still hasn't been done because the hospital is out of the reagent solution to do it with. 
Oh well. What can I do?

Supply issue is going critical.
And when you can get the things that are needed the price has shot up to the Moon.
We are having problems getting a certain size of gravel(aggregate) for asphalt for a major project.

Do us a favor. Pick up any reagent you have and post a pic of its labeling. Is it made in the US of A?

Would it be possible to make your own reagents ?

A large portion of this country have become hypochondriacs because of CoVID.
The sooner we stop testing for CoVID, the quicker this country will return to some sort of pre-2020 normalcy.

Supply chain issues have been around for quite some time

this is not even remotely new
we've been having arm wrestling matches for racks of 10uL pipette tips since like 2 years ago

Jason Sutherland, the national sales and marketing manager of the life science supplier Celtic Molecular Diagnostics in Mowbray, South Africa, writes to The Scientist in an email. “Every plastic consumable that is required to run RT-PCR tests such as plates and pipette tips are being used in abundance and many of the suppliers are battling to keep up with the demand.”
Lab gloves can be particularly hard to come by, adds Sutherland. For more than a year, his company has been unable to procure any from its regular supplier in Germany as the country has stopped exporting them to prioritize domestic needs.
Even when products are available on the global market, the pandemic is stalling their delivery. A general drop in air traffic as well as a global shortage of shipping containers have meant both delays and inflated delivery prices. Staff shortages at ports and a congestion of container ships may have exacerbated the issue in New Zealand
Basant Giri of the Kathmandu Institute of Applied Sciences who specializes in developing low-cost analytical technology, says he worries that this could have long-term effects on lab supplies. During a four-month lockdown that ended in July 2020, air traffic stalled. He’s had to wait months for specific reagents for enzyme assays or standard reference materials for drug and antibiotic testing
Tuberculosis researcher André Loxton of Stellenbosch University and the South Africa Medical Research Council’s Centre for Tuberculosis Research was able to source some items from colleagues. But he’s been waiting weeks for other products
“It would be nice if some of the big biotech and pharma supply companies would start having more backups in terms of warehouses or stockpiles better distributed around the world,” adds Hwa, “so we’re not waiting for every single thing to come all the way from Europe or all the way from China.”

I don't care about the reagents so much, but more concerned with why a company would go out of it's way to ramp up production of Covid tests. What do they know? Will Covid tests even be effective for a next strain? They are certain, it seems, that another wave is coming.
