CiteAb's new instrument dataset captures citation trends across impactful life science technologies, including mass spectrometers, imaging systems, and flow cytometers - the focus of this award.
Flow cytometry is a cornerstone of cell analysis, immunology, and drug discovery research. This brand new category celebrates suppliers whose flow instruments are seeing rapid citation growth in the scientific literature.
We used the following methodology to determine the award winner:
- Limiting analysis to flow cytometer citations
- Calculating which supplier had the largest percentage increase in citation share in the past year
- Excluding suppliers with fewer than ten citations
Our congratulations to Beckman Coulter, winners of the Flow Cytometer Supplier to Watch Award!
Beckman Coulter is a Danaher company, supporting researchers investigating complex biological problems with their instruments.
Justin Ngai, who leads our Instrument Data, commented:
"Strong citation growth reflects increasing adoption by researchers - and products that are driving published results. Shown through their win in this award, Beckman Coulter is making a measurable impact to researchers in the flow cytometry field. Congratulations to the team."
