Market Sectors Expert Frost & Sullivan analysts thoroughly examine the following market sectors in this research:
The following technologies are covered in this research:
Increasing Interest in Protein Electrophoresis for Protein Analysis Protein electrophoresis offers a relatively inexpensive, highly reproducible, and reliable method that has established itself as a critical tool in the study of proteins. Conceptually, it is an extension of the technique used to separate DNA molecules and has become one of the most popular methods used in proteomics research. While the traditional 1-D approach of western blot analysis enabled scientists to specifically examine the expression of proteins from different samples, newer 2-D techniques have extended the principles of this approach to provide a significantly more detailed picture of the proteins in a sample. They also allow for further characterization of unknown proteins, which is an important development in the ongoing quest for biomarker identification. "Participants in the protein electrophoresis market in the United States are working toward providing researchers with the tools needed for specific applications such as 2-D and new 1-D imaging approaches," says Frost & Sullivan research analyst Shankar Sellappan, Ph.D. "Improvements in design have also made the apparatus considerably smaller, more user friendly, and are integrated with useful data mining software programs." Interest in the protein electrophoresis market is likely to increase as more scientists employ these methods in their research efforts. Moreover, market participants are taking advantage of the fact that most researchers conduct experiments on proteins, DNA, and RNA, and offer power supplies and transfer apparatus that can be used for multiple research purposes. Development of New Techniques Drives Growth of Tools used in Protein Electrophoresis With the introduction of new approaches that build upon the principles of traditional 1-D separation, the protein electrophoresis market in the United States has experienced a revival of sorts. "Technological advances have led to the development of innovative approaches that expand the capabilities of protein electrophoresis for novel uses," says Sellappan. "These methods are likely to increase the adoption of protein electrophoresis as an experimental methodology, thereby driving the growth of tools used in these methods." The three major segments in the protein electrophoresis market are apparatus, reagents, and signal analysis. The well-established position of protein electrophoresis as a primary method for protein analysis ensures that the market is likely to continue to have a strong presence in the laboratory. Due to the continuous development of 2-D electrophoresis techniques, opportunities for signal analysis are expected to be significant. In addition, complementary methodologies such as mass spectrometry and other protein characterization methodologies are likely to benefit from the growth of this technique as sample isolation methods improve.
