Strategic Directions is currently conducting research into the needs and requirements of software used in Methods Development laboratories. As part of this project we are contacting knowledgeable scientists, engineers and managers that use these instruments for their opinions. This questionnaire should take less than 10 minutes, depending on the extent of you responses. The results of this project will be used as an aggregate, and all respondents will remain anonymous. Contact information is for SDi's purposes only, and will not be disseminated in any way to third parties.

All respondents who fully complete the questionnaire and provide their contact information will be entered into a drawing to win a Kindle Fire or Barnes & Noble Nook Color. Odds of winning depend on the number of respondents, but is expected to be 1 in 30 respondents.
