Abstract
INTRODUCTION
The overview of types of reagents and different techniques of chromatography
is also examined along with sale figures over the 5-year period from 2007 to
2012. Companies selling the reagents of chromatography are profiled, and the
factors affecting markets for these products and how those markets are likely
to change are analyzed. Revenues have been broken down by the type of reagents
and the usage of these reagents.
Our key objective is to present a comprehensive analysis of the current market
and the future direction of chromatographic reagents with an emphasis on newer
products.
SCOPE OF STUDY
This report contains:
- Descriptions of reagents used for various chromatography techniques
including gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, affinity, size exclusion
and ion exchange chromatography, supercritical fluid chromatography and
capillary electrophoresis
- The current U.S. market status for reagents used in different types of
chromatography techniques, with trends and forecasts for growth over the next
5 years
- Technological issues including the latest trends and a thorough patent
analysis
- Discussion of environmental, regulatory and public policy issues that
affect reagents for chromatography
- Company profiles.
METHODOLOGY
A comprehensive literature search was conducted. The literature included
technical newsletters and journals as well as many other sources. The data
were collected through interviews and correspondence with various
pharmaceutical/biotechnical experts. Projections were based on estimates such
as the current number of end users, potential end users, likely unit prices,
rates of consumption, and market trends.
