In the Researchers' Choice category we ask scientists to put forward a company that has made a difference to their research.
Congratulations to Proteintech - winners in this category for a second year in a row!
Proteintech's nominations speak to their positive impact made throughout the research community. Here's a snapshot of what researchers had to say:
"Their antibodies are reliable, affordable and quick to arrive. Western blots and IF pictures provided by them are usually representative of what we get in the lab"
"They're responsive, genuinely in touch with the times, and always on the pulse. Really impressed."
"We have also enjoyed their educational content, the courses and the webinars from experts in the field"
In this category we saw many fantastic nominations, so thank you to all scientists who got involved and
shared how suppliers are supporting your work, and congratulations again to Proteintech!Other Categories
