For?

I am most frustrated by (i) the lack of comprehensive comparisons of products and (ii) the lack of useful product reviews. If labcritics could provide this, that'd be great. Also, so far adverts in magazines had no influence on my equipment purchases.

Dr. Dietrich, Columbia University

The major problem is how to compare the quality of a equipments with same kind of products from different companies. Magazine adverts don't help much. We usually checked the website of the companies.

I think labcritics is doing right things: list comparison between different products, and unbiased product review. All these will be helpful.

Dr. Li, New York University

The main problem is the machine technical performance and how suitable is to the required needs. Then it comes the price (assuming that budget is available for the different options).

Magazines are useful only to get notice of a new piece of equipment. I would rarely decide by looking to an ad.

Labcritics can help me to understand the state of the art technology in my field (only for the wet lab part). The display is fancy and it seems useful.
