Quantitative analysis of the global electrophoresis market has been published by Global Industry Analysts.
The research firm claims that the main drivers of the sector at present include increased demand for two-dimensional gel electrophoresis kits and for capillary electrophoresis systems.
Improvements in products themselves - in terms of speed, automation and resolution - are also helping to drive desire from end-users.
Finally, the expansion of the discipline of proteomics and upscaling of related research activities are also making electrophoresis devices a necessity.
The
