One you might have missed during this busy award season… (the Life Science Industry Awards!)

The Scientist recently announced the winners of its Life Science Industry Awards. These awards are dedicated to the life science industry that creates the reagents, hardware, and solutions researchers use every day.

The awards are dedicated to an industry that is not only highly innovative, but must also be very customer-focused and user-friendly. They provide many of the enabling technologies that help further research and discovery. Winners include Bio-Rad, Fisher and Qiagen. But the biggest winner of the evening was clearly Invitrogen, with no less than 6 awards (including one for their website)!

“This year, in the fifth Life Sciences Industry Awards, customization and integration of equipment separated the good from the great. Those trends, of course, require value and customer service, which are other key attributes of the 11 winners in 20 categories.

The Scientist worked with Arlington, Va.-based marketing research firm BioInformatics LLC, who polled our readers and members of the Science Advisory Board, for a total of more than 3,000 responses. Award winners were toasted on April 16, 2007, in Los Angeles at the American Association for Cancer Research annual meeting.”
