Clinical Laboratory Testing Volume 1: Reagents and Instruments
Clinical laboratory analysis for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) testing is one of the most important sectors of medical care. By all accounts, it is very mature, large and diverse--crossing the $33 billion mark in 2006--and employing over 100,000 laboratory workers, and spawning an industry for reagents and instruments comprised of thousands of companies worldwide. The term clinical laboratory analysis usually refers to determining the concentration or activity of a protein, carbohydrate, lipid, electrolyte, enzyme or small molecule in easily collected body fluids such as blood, serum, plasma or urine. However, it is not necessarily limited to these determinations.
The purpose of this TriMark Publications report is to describe the specific segments of the global clinical laboratory instrumentation and reagent market. Within this area, the report covers those segments that are highly active in terms of innovation and growth. Specifically, this global clinical laboratory markets report examines the markets for small lab equipment all the way up to highly-automated, large lab platforms, as well as accessory equipment such as reagents, supplies and manufacturers' original equipment manufacturer (OEM) additional equipment.
The emphasis in this analysis is on those companies and products that are actively developing and marketing laboratory analyzer products for the clinical setting, including hospitals, independent labs, physician's offices and miscellaneous clinics. This study concentrates on the clinical laboratory instrumentation industry market segment and the companion reagents sector in the U.S. and around the world. Particular attention is paid to those areas of the clinical laboratory instrumentation and reagents sector that are showing the greatest growth or the most innovation.
This report attempts to answer the following questions:
- Which companies are the key players?
- What are the opportunities in clinical laboratory instrumentation and reagent markets?
- What is happening with the information revolution in lab instruments?

- Where are the new market growth areas?
- What are the most favored lab analysis technology platforms?
- Where is the laboratory analyzer instrument technology taking us?
- How is immunological technology blending with more established laboratory procedures?
- What are the business trends in the IVD industry?
This analysis reviews the market for clinical laboratory instrumentation used in clinical practice. It defines the dollar volume of sales in each major regional market, as well as 25 individual European country markets, and it analyzes the factors that influence the size and the growth of the individual market segments.
The report details market sizes and growth rates for the U.S. and world markets. The study surveys some of the leading companies known to be marketing, manufacturing or developing products for the clinical laboratory instrumentation and reagent market for those sectors covered here. Each company is discussed in depth with a section on the history of the company, product lines, business and marketing analysis, and a subjective commentary of the position of the company in its market.
The unique benefits of this report are:
- In-depth analysis of the major sectors of the clinical laboratory instrumentation and reagent sectors, their size, growth rates and major drivers.
