February 2011 User Product Review Winner of a Biometric USB
Catherine Piper, Jealotts Hill International Research Centre, UK
“Most people read product reviews if they buy a new TV or washing machine – so why wouldn’t you do the same for your lab equipment? It makes so much sense especially as purchasing new equipment is often time consuming and expensive and you generally can’t afford the time out of the lab if it breaks down.”

“We use SelectScience primarily for mid-size equipment reviews.
