A consultancy providing market and research services to life science, Percepta Associates has launched a new market research report titled “2011 Flow Cytometry Series 1 Life Science Dashboard.”
This report offers quick access to important market indicators such as end-user practices, user satisfaction/switching tendency, growth rates, competitive shares, and market size for instruments and reagents in the market for flow cytometry. Additionally, market share data is being provided for the chief flow cytometry market segments that include the primary antibodies labeled directly with fluorophores, secondary antibodies labeled directly with fluorophores, kits or reagents utilized for labeling antibodies with fluorophores, and flow cytometry devices.
eBioscience, Life Technologies, and Becton Dickinson are the top suppliers of the reagent segments. The top supplier for flow cytometry instruments in the research market is Becton Dickinson with a considerable share captured by Beckman Coulter. The report findings reveal that when the market growth for flow cytometry reagents is expected to increase at a rate of nearly 7%, the flow cytometry instruments’ market growth is projected to be moderately flat. In addition, the report displays that about 50% of users of flow cytometry reagent were keen in changing primary suppliers considering the necessity for low cost or better performance.
Flow cytometry is a technique generally utilized to detect and count cells. Apart from its vast range of applications in cancer diagnosis and in the disease and immunology research, scientists make use of flow cytometers in industry and academia. Flow cytometry reagents are regarded as an important growing segment in the life science industry due to suppliers continuing to improve their services and products in the market. The Flow Cytometry Series 1 Life Science Dashboard report was structured from a survey comprising 32-questions carried out by 368 scientists mostly situated in Europe and North America.
