The Market For DNA Microarrays Core Lab EndUser Perspectives



Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c25722) has announced the addition of The Market For DNA Microarrays: Core Lab & End-User Perspectives to their offering

DNA microarrays are widely believed to have played a large role in reshaping molecular biology because they have allowed scientists to greatly increase their experimental throughput. In addition, scientists can now see a much more complete picture of gene function in a single experiment. The wealth of information obtained as a result of the Human Genome Project and the sequencing of many other genomes is helping to fuel the increased usage of DNA microarrays.

Based on a 29-question survey of 563 scientists who currently use DNA microarrays, The Market for DNA Microarrays: Core Lab & End-User Perspectives provides suppliers with insights into the types of products required to support this research. In order to benchmark the current state of the market for DNA microarrays, scanners and data analysis software, this report details researchers experimental parameters, current and future levels of sample throughput and choice of supplier for each particular product. It reveals respondents satisfaction with their DNA microarrays and data analysis software, and determines the attributes of these products that are of the greatest importance, as well as areas where they perform above or below expectations. Additionally, this report examines the factors that contribute to a lab s decision to purchase one data analysis software package over another. To provide more detailed insight into this important aspect of a DNA microarray experiment, respondents disclosed difficulties they encounter with their data analysis software as well as desired improvements both to software and to their ability to share microarray data.

By using this report to understand the actual experiences, needs and preferences of researchers, suppliers of DNA microarrays, scanners and data analysis software will be better able to make refinements to existing products to appeal to the diverse needs of their target market and extend the use of their DNA microarray products into additional laboratories.

The major objectives of this report are as follows:
Identify the experimental parameters of DNA microarray experiments.
Determine current levels of throughput and estimate growth over the next 12 months.
Identify the preferred suppliers of DNA microarrays, scanners and data analysis software.
Measure respondents levels of satisfaction with microarrays and data analysis software.
Determine the factors that influence decisions to choose one supplier over another for microarray scanners and data analysis software.
Understand performance limitations and desired future improvements for DNA microarray technology and data analysis software.
