Transfection: Understanding Customer NeedsPublished by: Biocompare Published: Jan. 19, 2007 - 60 Pages Table of Contents
AbstractThe 2007 Transfection Report is composed of a market overview and an introduction to the Transfection Survey, which contains questions about transfection reagents and methods that researchers are using. The report also includes a discussion of the survey results and conclusions and recommendations drawn from both the market analysis of transfection experimentation and the survey data. The market overview describes the use of transfection techniques as critical to the understanding of gene function.The primary hurdle to overcome, however, is the current limitations of the physical and chemical cellular delivery methods available. Many are harmful to cells, precluding in vivo use, while others have low transfection rates that would be unsuitable for use clinically. Once this challenge is met, however, the transfection/gene delivery market will explode. Much work is on-going to continue to grow the line of products designed to safely and successfully transport genetic material into cells of multiple types.
It is difficult to define, at present, what the market share for transfection reagents and equipment actually is, as most companies incorporate these products into the broader category of consumables. When one includes cells and tissue culture products, as well as nucleic acid reagents and supplies, the potential market expands tremendously. Most companies report generalized revenue increases in genomic reagents and instruments, among the larger life science vendors. |
