Analytical and scientific instrumentation covers a number of analytical technologies and automation solutions, which are used to derive accurate scientific results from product analysis across various industries. Technologies such as spectroscopy, chromatography, and electrophoresis are used for separation of various chemical and biochemical mixtures, based on different analytical principles. For instance, in chromatography, the separation is based on differential partitioning between the mobile and the stationary phase. Electrophoresis, on the other hand, separates biomolecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins using electrical charges and size as a selection barrier. The emergence of advanced analytical instruments such as DNA sequencers, real-time PCR instruments, flow cytometers, and microarray scanners has driven the efficiency of research laboratories to a great extent. Microfluidics or lab-on-a-chip (LOC) is a new technology gaining significant importance. As the name suggests, the lab-on-a-chip integrates one or more laboratory functions on a chip. This technology deals with the handling of very small fluid volumes (down to less than pico-liters). With the proliferation of biological data for proteomics and genomics, LOC technology has been used in many industries including biotechnology, defense, agriculture, life science, and pharmaceuticals. Currently, spectroscopy commands the largest share of the global analytical and scientific instrumentation market. However, the DNA sequencers and amplifiers market is expected to grow at the highest rate in near future, due to the continuous development of cost-efficient genome sequencers and amplifiers offering high-throughput analysis at reduced costs.
Spectroscopy technology segment can be broadly categorized into molecular spectroscopy, atomic spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. Molecular spectroscopy holds the largest share of the global spectroscopy technology market, owing to its numerous applications such as pathogen detection, protein quantification, biochemistry, and biophysics research. However, mass spectrometry market is expected to grow at a high rate in near future due to its increasing use in analytical applications in laboratories along with development of new mass spectrometry products offering improved sensitivity, enhanced speed, and higher throughput. Spectroscopy technologies such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) are utilized in surface characterization of materials. Microscopy (optical, electron, scanning probe, and confocal microscopy), surface analyzers (vapor adsorption analyzers, BET surface analyzers, gas adsorption analyzers, and electrokinetic analyzers), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) are some of the other key technologies used in surface analysis.
Elemental analysis is also one of the key application areas of analytical and scientific instrumentations. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), combustion analysis, chemical method, electroanalytical method, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and optical emission spectrometry (OES) are some of the prime technologies used in the elemental analysis.
Electrochemical instruments such as electrochemical meters, titrators, ion chromatographs, and potentiostats and galvanostats are primarily used to measure and monitor various parameters such as pH, dissolved oxygen, ion-selective electrode (ISE), biological oxygen demand (BOD), and conductivity in a sample solution. These instruments are most commonly and routinely used in research laboratories and processes in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, water and environment testing, and food and agriculture industries. Increasing demand for multiparameter testing instruments and rising awareness about safe water consumption are propelling the demand for electrochemical instruments throughout the world.
Laser diffraction, dynamic light scattering (DLS), imaging, nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), the Coulter Principle, mass measurement (RMM), light obscuration, sedimentation, and sieve analysis are the commonly used technologies in particle size analysis. Rising application of nanotechnology in several industries including healthcare, food and beverages, chemical, and strict quality standards imposed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the U.S., and other governing bodies in other parts of the globe are fuelling the adoption of particle size analysis technologies across several industries.
The analytical and scientific instrumentation industry has evolved significantly over the past few decades owing to several technological advancements in analytical instruments in terms of miniaturization, automation, and computerization; which offer high-throughput analysis and ease of operation. As a result, the industry is continuously witnessing launches of a number of miniaturized as well as hyphenated analytical systems. Benchtop devices do not require a dedicated infrastructure or room and can be placed directly on the bench in a laboratory and moved as needed. Hyphenated technologies reduce the costs of installing a single instrument. They also provide ease of operation and help in optimizing lab space. These advantages offered by miniaturized and hyphenated systems are increasing the adoption of these devices among research laboratories.
Academic and private research institutions; pharma and biopharma companies; the agriculture, chemical, and food and beverage industries; and environmental testing companies are some of the key users of the analytical and scientific instrumentations. A number of factors such as growing pharmaceutical industry; increase in the number of research-related activities worldwide in the field of medicine, proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics; stringent government regulations with regards to food quality; growing environmental concerns; strengthening healthcare infrastructure in developing nations for efficient disease diagnosis and treatment; growing number of criminal cases across the globe and improving knowledge about human and microbial genome; and inclining trend towards development of bio-based chemicals are rising the demand for newly developed technologically advanced analytical and scientific instrumentations among these users. The drug development industry is one of the biggest users of these instruments and solutions. With many bestseller drugs going off-patent, and rising government spending on pharmaceutical R&D in emerging nations, pharmaceutical companies are investing heavily in the discovery and development of novel drugs. In December 2011, the government in China announced an investment of 40,000 million Yuan (~$6.6 billion) for the discovery and development of novel pharmaceutical drugs from 2011–2015, as a part of its 12th Five-Year Plan. This increased government funding has also encouraged private investors to make huge investments in China’s pharmaceutical R&D. The South Korean government is also focused on developing its pharmaceutical sector, which can be witnessed through the government’s Pharma 2020 Vision initiative (that began in 2012). Through this initiative, the government aims to spend $8.9 billion on developing 20 novel drugs by 2017. Likewise, in 2009, the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade launched a national strategy (Pharma-2020) to develop the country’s pharmaceutical industry with a total investment of ~177.6 billion rubles ($4.8 billion) from 2011 to 2020. Patent expiry of blockbuster biologics such as Herceptin, Enbrel, Humalog, MabThera, Remicade, and Rituxan in the developed nations are also likely to drive the development of biosimilars. As analytical and scientific instruments are extensively used in the process of drug discovery and biosimilars development, the increasing pharma and biopharma investments in these activities are fueling the demand for analytical and scientific instruments, globally.
