Items in the Scientific Market Place (Sci-Mate) include anything that academic scientists either have or need.

In addition to a clear description, and the conditions under which requests will be considered, it must be research or commercially orientated, then classified according to what it is, and up to 10 relevant disciplines.

[edit] Research and Commercial Distribution

Researchers may list items for:

• free (for further research or collaboration);
• at cost (covering production or sending expenses); or
• technology transfer (and commercial service or product).

Industry representatives may list commercial items of value to scientists.

[edit] Research Items (Material, Service or IP)

Research tools, requirements, products and technology:

• animal models (drosophila, mouse, nematode, yeast, bacteria, virus, etc, recombinants, strains, etc),
  
• antibodies (for research, theraputic, and/or commercial application),
• cell lines,
• data (microarray, epidemiology, real-time PCR, sequence, computational, etc),
• DNA and RNA products (eg, plasmids, other vectors, siRNA, Aptamers, cDNA libraries, oligos, phages, etc),
• IT tools (software and hardware),
• reagents (proteins, lipids, antigens, media, drugs and other chemical compounds, solutions, etc),
  
• samples (patient data, blood, tissue, etc).

Services:

• administration and support (conference organizing, grant applications, manuscript preparation, technology transfer, etc),
• analysis (crystallography, FACs, mass spec., micro array, statistics,
• animal services (recombinants, fertilization, microinjection,
• cell biology (sorting, hybridoma, primary cell supply, stem cells, embryology, transfectants, recombinants, etc),
• IT support and services (data analysis, visualization, programming, hardware design, etc),
• specific training (courses, packages, materials, information, etc),
• molecular biology (sequencing, purification, assays.
  

[edit] Items Wanted

Any Research Item (see above list) that a researcher may have and be willing to distribute under the conditions the lister proposes.

[edit] Consultancy

Any knowledge based service that can be made available under specific conditions defined within the listing. This may include:

• advice, audit, and/or analysis (of a specific situation),
• knowledge based services, research, and/or reporting (of a general topic or non-situation specific endeavour),
• personlized training (coaching, seminars, courses, speaking, or other customizable instructional consultancy)
• or any other form of free-lance service provision.

[edit] Project or Collaboration Proposal

Laboratories or industry, generally with an available resource or skill, may define:

2. What they have available;
3. What is required from potential partners or collaborators; and
4. The proposed conditions / arrangements for engagement.

[edit] Grants and Funding

Any potential opportunity for the financial support for research and/or development projects.

[edit] Jobs and Training Positions

Any type human resource need within the research and development industry.

[edit] Training Courses
