Top 10 Innovations
About the Top Innovations Contest
Every year since 2008, The Scientist has canvassed the life-science community to find out which newly released products are having the biggest impact on research. After collecting submissions from companies and individuals, we put the new innovations before a carefully selected panel of expert, independent judges. Our judges rank the tools, techniques, methodologies, software, and products according to their potential to foster rapid advances or address specific problems in their respective fields. The products that rate the highest in our judges’ opinions are then featured in multiple ways on The Scientist website, magazine, social media, and more. Our goal is to identify those products and services that are poised to revolutionize research and advance scientific knowledge. Please stay tuned to The Scientist to learn which products won spots in the Top Innovations contest this year.
