REPORT SCOPE
SCOPE OF REPORT
This report will focus on liquid handling equipment for biological and chemical laboratory use. There will be a variety of different applications included in the scope of this report. This report will not focus on total laboratory automation solutions, as it will not cover the software and integrating hardware needed for these purposes. This report will also not cover the use of consumables, as most of the consumables used are typically used in other laboratory applications.
ANALYST'S CREDENTIALS
The analyst, Todd Graham, is an experienced professional in the biotechnology and clinical diagnostics industries. He has worked in a variety of bench roles throughout both industries and has also worked as a consultant for a number of biotechnology firms. He has been familiar with liquid handling equipment throughout the course of his career and has the insight to explore the evolution of this market. The analyst has a bachelor of science in biotechnology from Rutgers-The State University of New Jersey and a masters of arts in biology from Queens College-The City University of New York.
