Abstract

RNA isolation/purification is a critical step in the preparation of biological samples for use in a multitude of downstream applications including real-time quantitative PCR, reverse transcription PCR, microarrays, Northern blot analysis, nuclease protection assays, RNA mapping, in vitro translation and cDNA library construction. The need for purified RNA in so many experiments across several scientific disciplines has quickly made RNA purification an indispensable tool for both academic and industrial scientists, and as such, a large market of RNA purification products - including both commercial kits and reagents - has developed.

One significant challenge facing the field of RNA purification is the difficulty of extracting RNA from different types of cells and tissues; a related challenge is sample scarcity, especially in a clinical setting. The heterogeneity of RNA attributes across different organisms and cell types adds additional complexity for suppliers - forcing them to design a range of sample-dependent offerings. In such a product landscape of kits and reagents applicable only to specific organisms, cell and/or tissue types, suppliers find themselves competing for share across a very fractured user base. As a result of these and other challenges, product offerings for RNA purification face performance mandates around yield and sample stability.

To gain a better understanding of the RNA purification techniques currently used, The RNA Purification Market: Evaluating Competitive Dynamics & Establishing Benchmarks provides suppliers with insights into the types of products required to support this work. Based on a 34-question survey of 813 scientists who currently purify RNA, this report benchmarks the current market by comprehensively reflecting researchers' experimental parameters and uses for purified RNA, current and future levels of sample throughput and the particular purification methods employed. In addition, it provides a closer look at two directions in which the RNA purification market could be moving-outsourcing samples for purification and the use of robotics for high throughput purification.
