Abstract
The commercial world of medical sensors is vibrant and evolving rapidly.
Reports that are only a year or two old are already out-of-date as new
technologies make rapid penetration. This new edition attacks the field from
the point of view of current R&D, technology and innovation, with an eye to
potential markets and emerging technologies in clinical medicine, remote and
military applications, process and materials quality control, environmental
monitoring, and food and drug quality control. Technology trends and
particulary significant research are discussed and market data (including
forecasts through 2009) are segmented by geographical region:
- North America
- European Union
- Japan
- China
- Latin America/Mexico
- India
- Eastern Europe
- Rest of World
And by application and specific measurement
- Research Laboratories
- Medical Applications
- Gucose Biosensors
- Coagulation Rate Biosensors
- Cholesterol Biosensors
- Others
- Industrial Control
- Alcohol (Beverages, Fuel)
- Sugars/Carbohydrates
- Dairy Products
- Meat Products
- Others
- Biodefense
- Environmental
Extensive information on recent patents of note and profiles of almost 100
competitors round out this comprehensive review. and by application area.
