This also plays into the cost of storing chemicals; lab space is much more valuable when it is used to use chemicals than it is to store them. And probably the biggest cost associated with a library of chemicals in storage is paying for the human resources of a librarian to keep track of what is available in storage and what needs to be restocked...
