Research Overview
High Inter-array Reproducibility Necessary to Drive Further Research in
Protein Arrays
Research programs using protein arrays have been hampered by low inter-array
reproducibility. Easy-to-use technologies that enable high throughput at an
increased level of reproducibility are in great demand. Further technological
developments are needed to enable researchers to benefit fully from protein
arrays.
This Frost & Sullivan research examines the world protein arrays markets
and focuses on the technologies currently available and those poised to enter
the market. The study offers revenue forecasts by market segments and covers key
drivers and restraints affecting market growth. It also provides recommendations
to overcome market challenges.
Automation Enhances Increased Protein Array Sample Throughput
The trend of continuous automation of the drug discovery market is carrying
over to the protein array market, aiding researchers to reduce the occurrence of
manual errors. "Current technological advances are clearing the way for
protein arrays to become regular fixtures in research, facilitating frequent
experiments," states the analyst.
Increasing Availability and Validity of Content Drives Demand and Growth
The demand for increased availability of validated content for protein arrays
is expected to escalate as the research market continues to progress. However,
the quantity of validated content currently available does not meet researchers'
requirements. "This creates a challenge for researchers in meeting their
research goals at an accelerated pace," notes the analyst. Companies
providing high-quality validated content are likely to experience increased
market growth.
