Research and Markets: Roche and Affymetrix Were the First to Receive FDA Clearance for A Biochip-Based Molecular Diagnostic Test and Instrument System - '2007 The Worldwide Biochip & Equipment Market'.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c45548) has announced the addition of 2007 The Worldwide Biochip biochip Small-scale device, analogous to an integrated circuit, constructed of or used to analyze organic molecules associated with living organisms. One type of theoretical biochip is a small device constructed of large organic molecules, such as proteins, and capable of & Equipment Market (Japanese Version) to their offering. This report provides a broad review of the dynamic worldwide biochip business. Biochips are becoming more diverse and customers from North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. , Europe and Asia are demanding these products. The products from the biochip market are being used to help accelerate the research processes and capabilities of bio-pharmaceutical drug discovery, diagnostics and basic academic medical research. In recent history, the big pharma companies have suffered increasing R&D costs while their actual output of new drugs has declined. Drug companies needed to look outside of their companies to find drug products faster. As a result, pharma companies have increasingly become motivated research and financial partners with many biotechnology companies Top 100 Biotechnology Companies The following is a list of the top 100 biotechnology companies ranked by revenue. The first nine companies qualify for the list of the top 50 pharmaceutical companies. . Pharma companies also want to become customers and partners of biochip companies because these companies have technologies that might help them become more productive faster. Concepts such as pharmacogenomics Pharmacogenomics is the branch of pharmacology which deals with the influence of genetic variation on drug response in patients by correlating gene expression or single-nucleotide polymorphisms with a drug's efficacy or toxicity. and targeted therapies have become accepted ideas by government regulators. Roche and Affymetrix were the first to receive FDA FDA abbr. Food and Drug Administration FDA, n.pr See Food and Drug Administration. FDA, n.pr the abbreviation for the Food and Drug Administration. clearance for a biochip-based molecular diagnostic test and instrument system. Basic academic research is helping too. Accelerating the drug making process requires modern industrialization industrialization Process of converting to a socioeconomic order in which industry is dominant. The changes that took place in Britain during the Industrial Revolution of the late 18th and 19th century led the way for the early industrializing nations of western Europe and of R&D by using genomics and proteomics technologies such as biochips that the biotechnology companies provide. This report discusses these important topics with interesting findings. New data is presented that calculates that the total biochip market size is projected to grow to about $4 billion in 2010 with a CAGR CAGR See: Compound Annual Growth Rate of 12.1%. It reviewed the activities of 26 companies. This report uses more than 60 figures and tables to illustrate the findings. This report features 5 at-a-glance tables at the start of each biochip section to help the reader zoom into details quickly. Section Outline: Section A: Executive Summary Section B: DNA DNA: see nucleic acid. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid One of two types of nucleic acid (the other is RNA); a complex organic compound found in all living cells and many viruses. It is the chemical substance of genes.
