An Overview of the Clinical Molecular Diagnostic Tests Currently Being Used and the New Developments That Are Expected in the Industry.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c1455) has announced the addition of Molecular Diagnostics Markets to their offering. E[acute accent]The purpose of this report is to survey the specific market segment of the in vitro diagnostics In vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests are medical tests conducted in a test tube, or more generally in a controlled environment outside a living organism. In vitro means in glass in Latin. market called molecular diagnostics. This report includes all of the generally accepted clinical molecular diagnostic tests that are currently used today, and explores new tests that are on the clinical horizon. It examines the clinical measurement devices and their reagents and supplies as utilized in hospital and commercial labs, clinics, and doctors' offices, including exciting new developments in probe based nucleic acid nucleic acid, any of a group of organic substances found in the chromosomes of living cells and viruses that play a central role in the storage and replication of hereditary information and in the expression of this information through protein synthesis. assays, microarrays, sequencing and DNA chips (lab on a chip) for disease detection. E[acute accent]This report reviews the market for clinical molecular diagnostics testing equipment and supplies in the clinical hospital market, using screening reagents and instruments for analysis of individual components in blood, serum or plasma. It defines the dollar volume of sales, both worldwide and in the U.S. of the market and analyzes the factors that influence the size and the growth of the market segments. The report details market sizes and growth rates Growth Rates The compounded annualized rate of growth of a company's revenues, earnings, dividends, or other figures. Notes: Remember, historically high growth rates don't always mean a high rate of growth looking into the future. , with projections usually through the year 2009 or beyond, if that makes sense, for the U.S. and world market. E[acute accent]The report surveys virtually all of the over 200 companies known to be marketing, manufacturing or developing instruments and reagents for the molecular diagnostics market in the U.S and worldwide. Leading companies are discussed in depth with a section on the history of the company, the product line, business and marketing analysis, and a subjective commentary of the position of the company in its market.
