BioWorld Industrial Biotechnology StatReport: Immediate and Comprehensive Industry Information
HOW TO USE BIOWORLD STATREPORTS
BioWorld StatReports are fully searchable through Adobe Acrobat Reader by using its search feature (Ctrl. +
Shift + F).
Companies may also be located using the list of company names at the beginning of the report. This useful
feature provides a quick reference guide to coverage. It is an alphabetical listing of all companies in the
directory and allows the reader to summarily determine if a specific company is represented in the directory.
The Main Entry section is arranged alphabetically by company name.
