The 10 Latest Products to Get Your Seal of Approval
More top-rated products gain a coveted new SelectScience Seal of Quality, helping you to choose the best for your lab
5 Feb 2018SelectScience® is proud to announce the latest recipients of the new SelectScience Seal of Quality program, recognizing the products that have consistently received the highest review ratings from you, the scientists using them.
Lauched in June last year to further assist scientists in making important purchasing decisions for their labs, Seals of Quality are assigned to approximately 0.1 % of products on the SelectScience website and are allocated in line with strict criteria based on the quantity of reviews a product has received and the average rating of those reviews.
The program has been hailed by industry leaders and described as providing “invaluable” information for scientists.
