Abstract
The field of analytic separations is composed of both established and novel technologies.
Both types continue to evolve as limitations are addressed and standards
grow even more rigorous. Researchers in university and industrial laboratories
continue to explore, develop, and improve processes and technologies. The market
is driven primarily by biotech/health care, security, and environmental monitoring.
Improvements in quality control, instrument design, and software are having
a positive impact on the industry.
Analytic separation is an industry in flux due to the seemingly constant emergence
of newly introduced instruments and methods. The industry is comprised of a diverse group of technologies, which are all used to perform some sort of analytic-scale separation; often these technologies may
not have much else in common. Used separately or in combination with one another, the analytic separation methods create a
multibillion dollar U.S. market.
This report examines techniques used for analytic separations and analyzes the markets by both technology and application.
Analytic separations have never been more commonplace; the technologies presented in this report are being used in applications
as diverse as air-pollution monitoring and
biotechnology. Processing samples in the
microscale and nanoscale ranges are the next
challenge, with concentrations at the micromole
and femtomole level.
