The nominees for the 2007 Life Science Industry Awards have been announced, and 559 life science suppliers were nominated across 20 Award categories. In all, over 3,000 scientists voted between January 3, 2007 and February 16, 2007.
March 17, 2007 — /PRWeb/ — Arlington, VA — The nominees for the 2007 Life Science Industry Awards have been announced, and 559 life science suppliers were nominated across 20 Award categories. In all, over 3,000 scientists voted between January 3, 2007 and February 16, 2007. These respondents, based on their experiences using scientific products, voted for their favorite suppliers — taking into consideration practical factors such as satisfaction with product features, likelihood to purchase again, likelihood to recommend the supplier, the supplier with best overall solution, and cost-effectiveness.
BioInformatics, LLC, the premier market research and advisory firm serving the life science industry, was again selected to collect and tabulate the votes for the prestigious Life Science Industry Awards. The awards recognize those life science suppliers that are best-in-class in both product categories and customer communications and support categories. The winners are determined by the industry’s own customers — scientists in biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, in government and academia who use the products day in and day out. The awards, organized by The Scientist magazine with the support of The Life Science Executive Exchange and The Science Advisory Board, have become a source of pride and a benchmark of excellence for the companies in the life science industry.
“These awards continue to enjoy a special prestige because they are conferred by the international life science community,” noted Bill Kelly, President of BioInformatics, LLC. “Recipients of the Life Science Industry Awards aren’t solicited for a fee to receive these honors. Our awards are based on the actual experiences of thousands of scientific customers in labs around the world who recognize excellence in their suppliers.”
Members of The Science Advisory Board and readers of The Scientist cast their votes for the companies that have made the greatest contributions to life science technology in the past year. The votes now being analyzed by BioInformatics, LLC will identify those companies voted “best-in-class” in each of the product and communications/support categories below:
