Nucleic acid amplification is one of the most commonly performed molecular biology techniques and is a necessary precursor to a range of methods from gene cloning and site-directed mutagenesis to the quantitative analysis of gene expression. The Nucleic Acid Amplification Dashboard was developed from responses to a 37-question survey by 437 scientists predominantly located in North America and Europe. This Dashboard reveals key market indicators for the nucleic acid amplification market as a whole as well as for the following sub-segments:
  • Standard PCR with Taq polymerase, hot start Taq polymerase and proofreading polymerases
  • qPCR with Taq polymerase and with hot start Taq polymerase
  • qRT-PCR with Taq polymerase and with hot start Taq polymerase.
While standard protocols may be well-defined, amplification markets are quite fluid, with significant influence from such external sources as:
  • an evolving intellectual property landscape
  • new pricing strategies from established suppliers
  • application to emerging research areas such as gene silencing, SNP genotyping and rapid, whole genome sequencing
In order to dive more deeply into the characteristics and dynamics of the market for nucleic acid amplification products, Percepta has introduced the Nucleic Acid Amplification Dashboard, designed to take a snapshot of the current market landscape with the future goal of repeating and publishing the study to give Dashboard readers the ongoing story of how the market is adapting to new products, new competitors and new sales and marketing strategies.
