http://www.reportlinker.com/p099465/Biologic-Imaging-Reagents-Technologies-and-Global-Markets.html
INTRODUCTION
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
BCC's goal for this study is to determine the global market and future demand growth for biologic imaging reagents over a five-year period from 2008 to 2013. Our particular interest is to characterize and quantify the biologic imaging reagents market potential by technology, reagent type and end user market. We also evaluate future growth opportunities in emerging biologic imaging reagents such as quantum dots, nanoparticles, fluorescent proteins and supermolecules.
Imaging reagent types covered include fluorescent probes and dyes; fluorescent proteins; nanoparticles; fullerene and dendrimer supermolecules; magnetic resonance imaging; ultrasound and x-ray contrast reagents; and imaging radiopharmaceuticals.
Our key objective is to present a comprehensive discussion of where the state-of-the-art is in biologic imaging reagents and forecast the future commercial potential for the key market segments. This discussion will provide a basis for companies to make strategic choices about developing new products and markets, or employing biologic imaging reagents. The study will benefit reagent and instrument manufacturers; users of biologic imaging reagents; medical instrument companies; life sciences tools companies; diagnostic and drug manufacturers; biotechnology companies; and developers of nanotechnologies.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
Biologic imaging reagents play an important role in the medical, pharmaceutical, diagnostic, biotechnology and life sciences tools industries. Imaging and detection technologies are used extensively in medicine, biotechnology and pharmaceutical research. Traditional imaging techniques, such as x-ray, computer tomography (CT), ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear medicine (NM), mainly analyze anatomy and morphology and cannot detect changes at the molecular level. However, new developments in biotechnology allow us to image at the cellular and molecular level, paving the way for earlier diagnosis and treatment of disease. Biologic imaging reagents play a critical role in this medical revolution.
At the same time, tremendous advances in genomics, proteomics and cellular analysis are assisted by imaging technologies including fluorescent dyes and probes, quantum dot nanoparticles, and fluorescent proteins. Growth in technologies such as biochips, DNA sequencing, and PCR relies on sensitive biologic fluorescent imaging reagents.
