Another early winner is Arron O'Hara, senior analyst at ACS Group of Companies. He tells us: “Reviews are very important for laboratories to choose the correct equipment and consumables for their applications."

Arron Sanders review
Another reviewer to scoop the prize is Arron Sanders, from Quaker Houghton, who also won a festive sweater after leaving a review for the OMNIS by Metrohm AG. He explains: "Reviews on SelectScience are important as choosing new scientific equipment, especially for new methods and analysis. It can be quite daunting and it often relies on experiences from previous roles or the sales pitches from the company you are going to purchase from. I often use reviews when purchasing consumer products so it’s good to be able to see honest feedback from real-world users which can also potentially relieve any doubts that you may have." Another winner is Victoria Hrach from Duquesne University, who won a sweater by leaving a review of Corning® 96-well Clear Flat Bottom Ultra-Low Attachment Microplate by Corning Life Sciences. She quotes: "I believe the reviews are important since they allow scientists to hear from one another and make an informed decision on which products to purchase." We’ve been announcing our winners on our social media pages, so be sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Good luck and Happy Holidays to all our reviewers!   Don't forget to leave a review!
