CiteAb's newly launched instrument dataset gives insights into the platforms driving important life science research. Flow cytometry's broad applications across immunology, drug discovery and more make it a key area to track within this dataset.
For the first time, this year we launched a Flow Cytometer Supplier to Watch Award, recognising those suppliers whose instruments are gaining momentum in the scientific literature.
We used the following methodology to determine the Highly Commended awardee:
- Limiting analysis to flow cytometer citations
- Calculating which supplier had the second largest percentage increase in citation share in the past year
- Excluding suppliers with fewer than ten citations
We are delighted to recognise Cytek Biosciences as Highly Commended in the Flow Cytometer Supplier to Watch Award.
Cytek Biosciences focuses on flow cytometry products and services to support researchers and clinicians globally. This award recognition goes to show their strong growth in citation share in this field.
