Biotech Instrumentation Field Awakens to Whole New Ballgame

New York, March 3, 2006 — In the twenty years following the emergence of the Human Genome Project, the field of biotechnology instrumentation has made major league advances and promises to widen the genomic/proteomic knowledge base at a rapid pace by making gene/protein analysis faster and easier to conduct, according to a new study from Kalorama Information, a division of MarketResearch.com, a leading provider of industry-specific market research reports.

The new study, The Future of Biotechnology Instrumentation, predicts that as the field continues to advance, producing faster, smaller and more highly automated analytical instruments — particularly instruments that combine analytical technologies — will be the main objective drivers in upgrading the current market.

The market for more advanced and different types of biotechnology instrumentation is being hyper-driven by new genomic and proteomic discoveries, the demands for more detailed analyses, and the data storing/mining/analysis needs that are currently experienced in the biotech field.

“The field of biotechnology instrumentation promises to be an area of exciting technological innovation that will be a key part of the array of genomic and proteomic analysis technologies extending over the next ten years,” notes Kenneth G. Krul, PhD, the report’s author. “While the nature of the industry is not expected to change, we can expect to see major advances, particularly in the area of micro chip technology.”

Rather than focus on the economic aspects of advanced biotechnology analysis products, the study examines the current products and trends as well as the applications of advanced biotechnology instrumentation, the improvements expected in existing instrumentation, and the facilitation of the delivery and commercialization of new analysis technologies and instrumentation.

The Future of Biotechnology Instrumentation takes a definitive look at the development of advanced biotechnology instrumentation technology in key areas such as chromatography, eletrophoresis, microarray technology, immunoassay, imaging, and mass spectrometry. The report also profiles leading suppliers and their technologies, as well as discussing the strategic future of the field.
