Market Profiles

Preparative chromatography has been widely used as a purification technique for many years, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry. Joining us for this forum are Frédéric Cheviron of Chiral Technologies Europe, J.T. Presley of Phenomenex, and Jean Bléhaut of Novasep.

Automating the DNA sequence process is made possible by the use of fluorescent tags. With fluorescent dyes, the entire experiment can be performed in a single solution instead of four different ones.

The global food, beverage and agricultural industry caters to the population of the entire world. Even though the food industry does not rely on analytical instrumentation to the same extent as perhaps other industries, the sheer size of the industry results in a considerable market for such instruments.

Laboratory service and support includes a wide variety of services that aim to maintain, restore or improve the functionality of industrial laboratories. Instrument repair is only one aspect of this complicated business area. This category involves out-of-warranty systems or parts not covered under a service contract. Preventative maintenance, calibration, validation, remote support, training, asset management and various types of consulting are other areas where vendors can provide additional service and added value to their product offerings. As a result, the service business has become the main driver of increased revenues for some companies in the instrumentation industry.

Thin Layer Chromatography industrial distribution

Flash chromatography is a type of preparative liquid chromatography commonly used in the separation of organic compounds.

Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is a planar chromatographic technique introduced in the 1950s as a fast, easy and inexpensive method for qualitative analysis.

The three main types of volatile extraction techniques are purge and trap, headspace and thermal desorption equipment.

Latin America is one of the most interesting developing markets for the analytical instrumentation industry. The region is home to 600 million people with a total GDP of more than $6 trillion.

Ion chromatography (IC) is a similar technique to HPLC except that the detector of choice is usually a conductivity detector.

Capillary electrophoresis (CE), introduced in the 1980s, uses the same principles as gel electrophoresis for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of charged biological molecules, including proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids as well as inorganic compounds.

Ion chromatography (IC) is a similar technique to HPLC except that the detector of choice is usually a conductivity detector. IC is well suited for the analysis of a variety of inorganic and organic anions and cations.

In gas chromatography, the sample vapor passes through the column and separates into its components - a separation that is governed by the distribution between the mobile and stationary phase.

The last few years have been particularly eventful for instrument companies as the prior prospects were hampered by the global recession, which affected some of the analytical and life science instrument sectors more than the others.

Dissolution testing is a mandatory test for the physical evaluation of solid dosage forms, such as capsules, tablets, ointments, and creams.

Ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) systems, also referred to as fast LCs, are designed to take full advantage of smaller particles (sub 2 ?m), which yield higher resolution and increased sensitivity.

Mass spectrometry is a very large, diverse and relatively dynamic market, and is one of the most powerful analytical techniques available to modern scientists.

In continuous flow analysis (CFA), a sample is injected into a flowing carrier solution passing rapidly through small-bore tubing. The sample is mixed with a reagent, which reacts with the sample to develop a colour and determine the sample concentration. The use of carefully controlled flow conditions ensures that the colour development reaction is reproducible, so that the colour measurement need not wait until the reaction has gone to completion.

High content screening (HCS) is a high-throughput method, which enables the functional analysis of cells. HCS plays a vital role for drug discovery applications, including drug targets verification and pathway detection, in both the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.

In continuous flow analysis (CFA), a sample is injected into a flowing carrier solution passing rapidly through small-bore tubing.

In a recent survey of over 264 laboratory automation users conducted by Strategic Directions International (SDi), the participants were asked to indicate the best characteristics of their recently purchased laboratory automation system. System reliability, software ease of use and flexibility were among the most frequently mentioned characteristics.

The laboratory automation area covers a wide array of technologies, which fall into such categories as liquid handling, robotics, and microplate readers.

The rapid expansion in China continues to fuel growth for separation science technologies. This market includes technologies such as HPLC, gas chromatography (GC), ion chromatography, low-pressure liquid chromatography, flash chromatography, thin-layer chromatography, chemical sensing, capillary electrophoresis and discrete and continuous flow analysers.

Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) makes use of a supercritical fluid, typically carbon dioxide (CO2), instead of an organic or aqueous solvent, to carry the sample through the chromatography column.
