Global 'Voice of the Customer' Amplification Suppliers and Products 2006

Abstract

• Assessment of Global Market positions of suppliers of Amplification Products
• Estimation of use of different amplification methodologies
• Identification of top selling products
• ' Drill down' and analyse regions and major countries
• Identify Regional Players and Positions

The data collection methodology was a telephone survey. The survey was carried out utilising our worldwide database of Life Science personnel who are active in academic research.

' VOC surveys' provide qualitative and quantitative information. However, without assessment level of statistical confidence, data validity can be open to challenge. Our survey aimed for 95% confidence level findings when compared to researchers who have published this year citing amplification methodologies across each Region/Country.
