Abstract Table of Contents Related Reports

The 2009 Antibody Report is composed of an in-depth overview of the Antibody Market and the results of the 2009 Antibody Survey. The survey explores topics such as antibody usage, antibody pricing, and purchase behavior of users of research antibodies. Other questions include antibody supplier preference and how users rate their suppliers on antibody specificity, sensitivity, value, technical support, and usefulness of their websites. The survey results show what common technical issues users experience while using antibodies and what resources are used to find commercially available antibodies. Other survey topics include conjugates and which antibodies are being used in bulk quantities. The complete questionnaire is on page 67 of this report.

The premium version of the 2009 Antibody report includes the complete survey dataset in Excel format. This data file shows how each survey participant responded to every survey question. The file can be used for used for more in-depth analysis techniques such as cross-tabulations.

The 2009 Antibody Survey consisted of thirty-nine antibody-related questions and five demographic questions. The survey was administered online between February 3rd and February 27th, 2009, and the data is tabulated and presented in this report.
