It is also used for the analysis of volatile substances in solid materials. The procedure is also employed to test the accuracy of a laboratory chromatograph. Sample preparation is also a significant step in the analytical process. The process involves the separation of the analytes from the sample to determine the properties of the compound. The separation requires different types of equipment and includes mechanical, ultrasonic, and electrospray.
Rapid growth in the research activities in genomics and growing drug discovery is driving the market growth of the sample preparation. This is attributed to the growing prevalence of various chronic disease such as cancer disease around the globe which is boosting demand for the novel drug. According to the World Cancer Research Fund International, there were an estimated 18 million cancer cases around the world in 2018, of these 9.5 million cases were in men and 8.5 million in women. Lung and breast cancers were the most common cancers worldwide, each contributing 12.3% of the total number of new cases in 2018. Moreover, the growing adoption of modern extraction techniques coupled with advancement in analytical instruments is again propelling the market growth of the sample preparation
On the other hand, high costs of workstations is expected to hamper the market growth of the sample preparation over the forecast period.
From the geographical point of view, North America is expected to exhibit significant growth over the forecast period and this is attributed to the strong presence of biopharmaceutical companies along with the rise in research &development activities for drug development. According to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers Association (PhRMA), U.S. firms conduct over half the world’s R&D in pharmaceuticals ($75 billion) and hold the intellectual property rights on most new medicines.
Key Developments:
-
In July 2019, Bioz, Inc., a Silicon Valley AI data company, has announced the expansion of its partnership with Covaris, the provider of pre-analytical sample preparation technologies.
-
In October 2020, Tecan and ProtiFi have enter into partnership to create an integrated, highly scalable, and easy-to-use proteomics workflow powered by the ProtiFi S-Trap™ sample preparation system and the Tecan Resolvex® A200 automated positive pressure workstation.
