Description

The microplate reader market in South and Central America was valued at approximately US$ 24.69 million in 2023 and is projected to grow to US$ 35.30 million by 2031, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2031.

Growth Drivers in Biopharmaceutical Research

Microplate readers are essential laboratory instruments that measure various chemical, biological, or physical reactions occurring within the wells of a microplate. These devices detect optical signals produced by these reactions, enabling the quantification of specific analytes in samples. The pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors heavily rely on a range of instruments, particularly in high-throughput screening (HTS) and drug discovery processes. Microplate-based assays allow researchers to evaluate a large number of samples simultaneously, with microplate readers capable of processing up to 3,456 samples in just a few minutes. This capability significantly reduces operational time and minimizes reagent costs, allowing researchers to concentrate on data analysis and deriving actionable insights. Consequently, microplate readers have become indispensable tools for various biological and chemical assays.

Several prominent companies, including Agilent Technologies, Inc., Molecular Devices, LLC, and BMG LABTECH, are at the forefront of providing innovative microplate readers tailored for HTS and drug discovery applications. For instance, BMG LABTECH has developed advanced detection technologies such as NanoBRET and TR-FRET, which are particularly useful in high-throughput drug screening. In August 2023, Lonza introduced the Nebula Absorbance Reader, designed to enhance endotoxin and pyrogen testing. This new reader serves as a high-performance alternative, delivering results comparable to those obtained with Lonza’s Nebula Multimode Reader. It is specifically engineered to work seamlessly with Lonza’s reagents and meets the specifications for their endotoxin assays, including the PYROGENT 5000 and Kinetic-QCL assays, while also supporting readouts for monocyte activation tests like the PyroCell MAT System.

Market Overview

Brazil stands out as a key hub for clinical trials in the region. According to Clinical Trials Arena, Brazil accounted for a 1.7% share of global clinical trial activities in 2021. In July 2022, Boston CRO made a strategic acquisition of the Rio de Janeiro-based Instituto Brasil de Pesquisa Clinica (IBPClin), marking a significant step towards implementing a decentralized clinical trial delivery model in Latin America. IBPClin is recognized as the largest research center in South America, having conducted over 160 industry-sponsored research studies and enrolling more than 7,000 participants across 12 Brazilian states. Additionally, in March 2020, the Fiocruz Foundation established a new hospital center and invested in clinical trials in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO). This new facility will host a solidarity clinical trial led by Fiocruz, which is being conducted in 18 hospitals across 12 Brazilian states, supported by the Department of Science and Technology of the Ministry of Health and coordinated by INI/Fiocruz. Such initiatives aimed at enhancing clinical trials and research activities in Brazil are pivotal in driving the growth of the microplate reader market in the region.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
