How It Works

Assay Depot is an online marketplace for research services and products. Designed by scientists for scientists, the marketplace makes it easy for you to compare competing Providers and then place online orders for the services and products you need. Marketplace providers have already signed contracts with Assay Depot covering confidentiality, pricing and performance. You simply register once with Assay Depot and then order services and products when you need them, without the hassle of repeated legal discussions, price negotiations and other account set-up activities. Assay Depot also works closely with the Provider to ensure the on-time delivery of a high quality data report or research product. In this unique way, Assay Depot brings the true benefits of outsourcing to the bench scientist, and fundamentally improves the way drug research is done.

How To Search the Marketplace:

Finding services and products on the Marketplace is easy. If you know exactly what you want, enter one or more search terms in the search box located in the middle of the home page or in the tool bar on all other pages.

The Marketplace also employs a scientific classification system that makes it easy for researchers to browse and find the services and products they need. In this classification system, services/products are first divided according to scientific discipline, and then subclassified according to the exact nature of the service/product. For example, "Custom Antibody Synthesis" services can be found in the discipline "Biology" in the category "Molecular Services".

How To Pay for Services:

There are no fees for using the Marketplace. You can pay for research services or products by credit card or invoice.
