This is a new award, going to BD Bioscience for its FACSCalibur, the most highly cited flow cytometer instrument in 2017.

From the data generated through CiteAb we are able to gain a really clear picture of the way life science reagents and instruments 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 to CiteAb data for the most cited flow cytometer instrument between January 2017 and December 2017, recognising the instrument most succeeding in this market. Not only did BD Biosciences achieve first place in this category, they also claim our second spot with a highly commended award for their LSR II cytometer. Many congratulations!”
