This market report summarizes the results of HTStec's global web-based benchmarking survey on FLT. Amongst other subjects, the survey investigated the following aspects of FLT-based measurements ; general perception; current level of awareness; current level of use; areas where FLT has been applied; awareness and feedback on commercial instruments; preference for the type of new FLT instrument; fluorescence readouts to be replaced with FLT; interest in commercially available FLT assays and lifetime dyes; most important features of a universal FLT kinase assay and interest in replacing current assays with a universal FLT kinase assay.
