JAGGAER and CiteAb to
deliver industry-leading
biological reagent search
and management solution
(Dubai, UAE) -
JAGGAER, a global
leader in Autonomous
Commerce, is collaborating
with CiteAb, a UK-based
provider of high-quality
life science data, to enable
researchers to identify,
select and procure the right
biological reagents for
their work. The integrated
solution will offer
efficiency gains, cost
savings and compliance
improvements via JAGGAER
Research Material Management
(RMM), the industry-leading
solution for acquiring and
managing commercial reagents
and lab supplies used in
research.
The
integration of CiteAb data
within JAGGAER RMM will be
available in June 2022 to
new and existing JAGGAER RMM
customers.
“JAGGAER
RMM has long been the
solution of choice for lab
researchers looking for
chemical reagents. We are
delighted that CiteAb’s
expertise in biological
reagent search will be
available to researchers who
use JAGGAER’s purchasing
systems,” said Dr. Andrew
Chalmers, CEO of CiteAb.
“By searching for and
identifying products on
CiteAb to purchase from
preferred suppliers on
JAGGAER, life sciences and
higher education
institutions will reduce the
risk of buying the wrong
reagents. Moreover, based on
what RMM clients already
save on chemical materials
and lab supplies, they now
stand to save an average of
20% on biological reagents,
year after year,” Dr.
Chalmers added. “That’s a
great plus for life
scientists, some of whom
spend millions of dollars
per year on antibodies
alone.”
Researchers
typically begin their
purchase process with an
exploratory search, but
biologists, like chemists,
often do not know the exact
reagents they need to
acquire. For chemists, RMM
offers chemical structure
search, cross-referencing
results with available
inventory and catalog items,
and actual contract pricing
and availability, to
simplify and optimize
selection.
A search
for a known antibody is
likely to return 1,000 or
more product results. Unlike
pure compounds, these
results are fundamentally
different in critical
dimensions, including
clonality, reactivity, the
application for which they
are intended, and the host
species from which they are
derived. Using the wrong
reagent wastes money, slows
research progress, and can
damage the credibility of
research programs.
Dr. Chalmers, working with a
team that came together at
the University of Bath,
England, pioneered CiteAb’s
search engine to address
this challenge. CiteAb
fundamentally changes the
way researchers find
reagents for their
experiments by combining
advanced text mining, the
classification of published
research literature, actual
supplier product catalog
content, published image
collection and extensive
human curation by CiteAb
experts. The result is
higher data accuracy and
reliability.
“The
partnership with CiteAb is
another example of JAGGAER
working to extend the
breadth and depth of our
comprehensive solution
footprint to meet very
specific vertical sector
needs,” commented Jim
Bureau, CEO, JAGGAER.
“CiteAb provides
researchers streamlined
discovery and simplified
buying, and suppliers
centralized access to a
large network of buyers,”
said Tom Russell, General
Manager, RMM Solutions.
“Those benefits epitomize
autonomous commerce.”
