Survey Participants
Scientists depend on tools and technologies to plan and conduct all phases of research. What are the latest trends and practices? Bioscience Technology and Drug Discovery & Development magazines surveyed life science researchers to find out. Here are the results.

The respondents work at organizations engaged in significant levels of life science research. They represent both management-level and staff researchers—all of whom are involved in purchasing decisions for lab-related products, equipment and systems.
