Abstract
This is the most comprehensive European market report on the emergent field of
molecular diagnostics from the end user perspective. Hospital and private
laboratories have been surveyed to collect information on NA tests performed,
test volumes and used platforms and reagents. For data reliability and
accurate projections at segment level a 3 step methodology has been
applied:
- Step 1: Identification of the total number of laboratories by
secondary research and short telephone interviews with 732 hospitals to verify
existence of internal laboratories.
- Step 2: 932 laboratories in Italy were classified for NAT activity
and overall NA test volume.
- Step 3: 73 laboratories provided data on NA test volume, kits,
platforms and trends. A list of 44 NA tests have been provided to the labs
for structured data entry. All data has been analysed and projected at total
market level. The report discusses tests and technologies that are currently
available and wishes from the end user perspectives. The report covers key
platforms of molecular diagnostics, including Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR),
Real Time PCR (RT-PCR), TMA, LCR, NASBA, SDA, HCA, bDNA.
