Every year, Biotechnology Calendar Inc. holds at least 2 events at the University of California's UCSF Campus, in order to provide researchers with access to the latest research tools in the industry. Life science product vendors flock to these events, so they can meet with the nations top funded researchers, and educate them about the products they have to offer. Typically researchers are surveyed about the products they are most interested in as they enter the event. This year we are sharing some of those results so we can better meet the needs of the researchers attending, and also help laboratory supply companies, better target their markets. Of course, like the mutual fund companies say, past results are not necessarily an indication of future performance.
If you are wondering what life science research products were most in demand at the most recent winter event, we've pulled out data on the top requested products so you know what categories of products the researchers at UCSF were looking for.
...and the most popular product categories were...
- Antibodies
- Flow Cytometry
- Tissue Culture
- Molecular Biology Products & Services
- Cloning
- Microscopes
- General Laboratory
- Equipment & Supplies
- Immuno histochemistry
- Immunology & Biological Reagents
- PCR Equipment and Supplies
- DNA Sequencing Service
