This brand new category was created in recognition of CiteAb’s new technology that allows the collation of data on multiple reagent types – not just antibodies.

From the data generated through CiteAb we are able to gain a really clear picture of the way life science reagents and products are used around the world. We can tell which countries are investing most in research using reagents, which companies are seeing growth or decline, which reagents are most successful and which fields of research are seeing growth.

Dr Andrew Chalmers, Founder of CiteAb, said: “For this award we looked at CiteAb data for chemical probe citations gathered between January 2017 and December 2017 - clearly placing Sigma-Aldrich out in front as the winner of this category. The company claimed the lion’s share of citations within the chemical probe market in 2017 and we wish them many congratulations on winning this new award.”
