Respondents organization types include academic laboratory or core facility; federal, state, or local...

Readers of the Lab Manager Magazine were invited to participate in an online survey in September 2014. To qualify for survey participation, readers were required to play a role in their laboratory’s purchasing process, be familiar with their laboratories’ product budgets, and represent a laboratory that either uses or plans to use products in o...

The execution of different test methods aiming to evaluate the stability and potency of biopharmaceutical products, as well as, their pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) profiles, their characterization and comparison with other drugs, or the detection of antidrug antibodies (ADAs) or neutralizing antibodies (NAB), represent critical stages in ...

The overall research objective was to capture and analyze global next-generation (NGS) sequencing trends and use. Most researchers outsource NGS technologies; however, in-house NGS technology use is expected to increase within the next 12 months. Data accuracy and operating costs are the top criteria for purchasing sequencing instruments. Disease-r...
