2002 Readers' Choice Awards
The August issue of Scientific Computing & Automation identified the 2002 Readers' Choice Awards for the eleventh consecutive year. This year's awards reflect the scientific products that readers found "exceptional" based on value, reliability, quality and ease of use:
Chromatography System
PerkinElmer Instruments
AutoSystem XL
Chromatography Data System
Scientific Software EZChrom Elite
(these lowlifes
make $hitware for Shimadzu)
Spectroscopy System
Cary Varian 4000/5000/6000i
UV-Vis-NIR instruments.
Spectroscopy Software
Bio-Rad Laboratories Know-It-All
If you decide to buy from another vendor because of perceived value, just remember
that you will get what you pay for (and maybe not even that!)
Consider the advice of your colleagues including lab techs/managers who made wise
selections/judgements based upon their very own experiences in the lab with a wide variety
of vendor equipment. Obviously, the vendors highlighted above are doing something right
that distinguishes them from the rest of the pack! Buyer BEWARE.
Remember: If you buy $hit.... then you will have $hit (from Shimadzu!)
