Our latest look at the protein science market
Over the years I’ve been intrigued by the concept of convergence – that blurring of distinctions between markets or technologies or even between suppliers and their customers. In a report just published by BioInformatics LLC in collaboration with the American Chemical Society, we look at protein science as an area where we’re observing convergence in […]

With many service models to choose from—in-house, original equipment manufacturer (OEM), multi-vendor, etc.—service providers must innovate to find […]
Niche Building Enables Smaller Suppliers to Exist Alongside Industry Giants
Still more to talk about regarding this year’s Life Science Industry Awards…Invitrogen’s margin of victory in the Cell Culture Media and Reagents category is one of the largest across all product and service categories for the 2008 LSIA. Additionally, its CVS was the second highest of the category’s Finalists. Nevertheless, while Lonza (Cambrex) only secured […]
