Who can participate
The program is open to any Slingshot advocate who can introduce a new customer to our flow cytometry controls—including scientists, researchers, core facility teams, laboratory staff, collaborators, and industry partners.
Whether you support one lab, a shared core facility, or a broader research network, your unique code makes it easy to recommend Slingshot and receive credit when a new customer orders.
A valuable introduction—for both of you
10% off for each new customer you refer
Every new customer who orders with your code receives 10% off their first purchase—an easy way to experience reliable, lot-to-lot consistent controls.
Free product as referrals add up
You earn a free Slingshot product after two referred customers complete a qualifying order. Inquiries, quote requests, and evaluations may be tracked, but they do not earn a reward unless they result in an order. Rewards are unlimited.
Clear, reliable referral tracking
Your unique code connects each eligible referral to you. We record related inquiries, quote requests, evaluation requests, and orders to support accurate attribution from the first conversation through purchase.

Any Slingshot advocate who can introduce a new customer to our controls may participate. This includes scientists, researchers, core facility teams, laboratory staff, collaborators, industry partners, and others in the research community.
What counts as a qualified referral?+
A qualified referral is a new customer who uses your code and completes an eligible first purchase. We may log related inquiries, quote requests, and evaluations, but they do not count toward a reward unless they convert to an order.

No. Referral codes are intended for introducing new customers to Slingshot. Contact your Slingshot representative to discuss pricing options for your own orders.
Does my institution need to approve this?+
Some institutions and organizations have policies governing vendor incentives. Please check with your procurement, ethics, or compliance team before participating.
