Life Science Tools of the Trade

I’ve posted before about the annoying habit of vendors comparing their product with a competitor’s but refusing to name names. Why? Threat of a lawsuit? Maybe their product claims are fraudulent, certainly not peer-reviewed? I’ve always wondered how everyone’s transfection agent can be 100% better than companies x, y and z. Does that mean I can transfect 200% of my cells if I buy LipoFugamine3000!? Doubt it.

I received a Western Blottting Handbook from Thermo Scientific and they compare their Thermo Scientific Pierce ECL reagent to GE Healthcare ECL. None of the Brand X mumbo jumbo. They name names, compare prices and show films.

Thanks. I think I’ll give it a try.
