Abstract
Clinical chemistry analysis is one of the most important areas within clinical
laboratory analysis. The term clinical chemistry usually refers to determining
the concentration or activity of a protein, carbohydrate, lipid, electrolyte,
enzyme or small molecule in easily-collected bodily fluids such as blood,
serum, plasma or urine. However, it is not necessarily limited to these
determinations. The analysis of virtually any biologically-active
substance-any place in the body-can loosely be defined as clinical chemistry.
In fact, traditional specialization barriers such as microbiology, hematology,
blood banking, immunology and even anatomical pathology are rapidly fading,
both operationally and instrumentally. But for the sake of defining the
subject to a reasonable size, the more traditional scope of clinical chemistry
will be the subject of this TriMark Publications study. The purpose of this
report is to describe the specific segments of the global clinical chemistry
instrumentation market. Specifically, this study examines the markets for
small lab and highly-automated, large lab platforms, as well as accessory
equipment such as reagents, supplies and manufacturers' original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) additional equipment. The emphasis is on those companies
and products that are actively developing and marketing chemistry analyzer
products for the clinical setting, including hospitals, independent labs,
physician' s offices and clinics. Concentration is on the clinical chemistry
instrumentation industry market segment in the U.S. and around the world.
Particular attention is paid to those areas of the clinical chemistry
instrumentation sector that are showing the greatest growth or the most
innovation.
