Case Studies

Investigators from more than 200 research institutions worldwide have contributed reagents to the Kerafast program. Researchers find a number of advantages to working with Kerafast, including:

  • Reaching a global audience to increase visibility for their research tools
  • Streamlining the packaging and shipping of their reagents
  • Generating funding for their lab, institution and future scientists
  • Accelerating research by eliminating the hassle of the MTAs
  • Stimulating new research collaborations with scientists around the world
  • Providing perhaps the very thing missing from a colleague's research

The below case studies illustrate how the program works for some of our participating researchers:
