The promotion is now well under way and several scientists have already won some great prizes.

Congratulations already to:

  • Alec Rippe, from Sleeping Giant Brewing Company
  • Monica Gestal, from The University of Georgia
  • Tomas Zanchi, from Consulenza Ambientali SPA
  • Amirali Shakaram, from Cosmetic Technologies
  • Matt Croxton, from Lakeland Christian School

There’s still plenty of time for you to get in on the action — simply leave your own lab product review to be entered into the drawing for the $100 Grand Prize (*or equivalent currency).

Then do the same again tomorrow for another great chance to win!

We started the big festive giveaway on December 3 with the prize on offer changing regularly. The competition runs until Friday, December 21, and we’ve already picked several lucky winners, with more to be announced over the next few days.

Here’s what our earliest prize winners had to say:

Tomas Zanchi, a laboratory analyst at CONSULENZE AMBIENTALI S.P.A. in Italy, won a $50 Amazon Gift Card in our first drawing, after posting a review for ULTRA-xr by Markes International.

Tomas is delighted with his prize, declaring: “With SelectScience, I can work and have fun! Thank you."

Another early winner is Alec Rippe, a QA/QC lab manager at Sleeping Giant Brewing Company, based in Colorado, USA.

He tells us: "I wanted to review on the Erlab Captair Smart Fume Hood on SelectScience because it truly is a great piece of equipment.”

A third winner is Monica Gestal, from the University of Georgia, who also won a $50 Amazon Gift Card after leaving a review for the Ovation® ali-Q™ by Vistalab Technologies.

She says: “Thanks to SelectScience for an unexpected Christmas present."

We’ve been announcing our winners on our social media pages, so be sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.

Good luck & a very Happy Holidays to all our reviewers!

Capillary ElectrophoresisCapillary electrophoresis (CE) is used to separate molecules based on charge, size and hydrophobicity. Pressure, voltage or a vacuum is used to introduce the sample to fused silica capillaries. Fluorescence, UV/Vis, UV or diode array detectors are used to visualize components. Types of CE systems include capillary electrochromatography (CEC), capillary zone electrophoresis and capillary gel electrophoresis. Find the best capillary electrophoresis equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.BiosensorsBiosensors are devices used to detect an analyte using biological molecules specific to the analyte coupled to a detector. Biosensor instruments may be photometric, typically using surface plasma resonance (SPR), electrochemical or QCM (quartz crystal microbalance) biosensors. Biosensors should be selective, portable, robust and sensitive and have a fast response time. Systems may be manual or automated and usually have associated software.Western BlottingWestern blotting equipment is used to transfer and identify specific proteins within a sample, reveal protein modifications, as well as give a semi-quantitative estimation of their concentration. Western blotting equipment includes all apparatus necessary to transfer proteins from gel to membrane and subsequent processing steps. Protein transfer can be performed by electroblotting with wet, semi-dry and dry transfer systems onto nitrocellulose and PVDF membranes. Blocking, washing and labeling of membranes follows, involving buffers, blocking reagents, blotting / incubation trays, labeling reagents, immunoblotting assays, antibodies and conjugates. Automated equipment for these steps is available to accelerate your lab workflow. Finally, detection and imaging of proteins can be conducted using gel documentation and imaging systems. Find the best western blotting equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.BiomarkersBiomarkers are biological markers which can be measured and evaluated to indicate a biological state. The use of biomarkers in research and diagnosis can indicate a normal or disease state or drug response of cells / tissues. Biomarkers include genetic markers, cell surface markers such as antigens, antibodies or receptors and secreted molecules such as cytokines. An assay system is required for identification of biomarkers. :Reviews
