Abstract
Nucleic acid amplification is one of the most commonly performed molecular
biology techniques and is a necessary precursor to a range of methods from
gene cloning and site-directed mutagenesis to the quantitative analysis of
gene expression. The Nucleic Acid Amplification Dashboard was developed from
responses to a 21-question survey by 485 scientists predominantly located in
North America and Europe. This Dashboard reveals key market indicators for the
nucleic acid amplification market as a whole as well as for the following
sub-segments: Standard PCR with Taq polymerase, hot start Taq polymerase and
proofreading polymerases
- qPCR with Taq polymerase and with hot start Taq polymerase
- qRT-PCR with Taq polymerase and with hot start Taq polymerase
- Instruments for Standard and Real Time PCR
Survey Methodology
ln June of 2009, Percepta fielded the Nucleic Acid Purification Survey to a
subset of the Percepta BioAnalytix™ Panel of life scientists.
Individuals were invited by e-mail blast to click-through to a webpage at
perceptabioanalytix.com where the survey was hosted. Invitations were
delivered beginning onJune 1,2009 and results collected throughJune 11, 2009.
A total of 485 scientists participated in the survey, of which 442 are
actively engaged in performing nucleic acid amplification and 12 plan to use
nucleic acid amplification methodsin the next 12 months. Results based on the
aggregate of collected responses are revealed in this Nucleic Acid
Amplification Dashboard.
