Description:
Microbes exert a pivotal influence on all of our lives: they are sources of infectious disease as well as
life-sustaining residents within our own bodies. Until recently, scientists' abilities to identify infectious agents and discover new potentially
useful microorganisms were hampered by the need to culture microbes prior to analysis. Fortunately, new DNA- and RNA-based approaches obviate the need
for culture and are providing sensitive methods for rapidly detecting and identifying microorganisms. Such advances in nucleic acid-based microbial
detection promise to benefit many fields, including: epidemiology, agriculture, bioremediation, food safety, forensics and bioterrorism. Designed to
provide your company with a thorough analysis of these methods and products, this report is based on a detailed survey of nearly 400 researchers and
clinicians.
The report identifies the kits, reagents and instrumentation that are most commonly used for microbial identification and analysis in
both the research and testing arenas. Respondents also disclosed unmet needs and identified areas where companies can focus their efforts to capture
market share. By focusing on the actual experiences, preferences and expectations of these end users, this report shows you how and why they choose
one microbial genotyping assay over another, what products they are buying and the challenges they continue to face—offering you exclusive
insight into how you can best meet your customers' needs.
The major objectives of this report are as follows:
- Determine the objectives of microbial detection assays.
- Identify the most common applications and areas of growth for microbial genotyping.
- Determine which methods and techniques are used in microbial genotyping.
- Ascertain differences between research and diagnostics/testing markets.
- Identify the preferred suppliers of microbial genotyping kits, hardware and microarrays.
- Estimate market growth based on current and expected throughput levels.
- Assess satisfaction levels for current products.
- Identify unmet product needs.
