The growing prevalence of cancer, infectious diseases, genetic disorders, and neglected tropical diseases is subsequently increasing the demand for DNA or RNA isolation for nucleic acid-based diagnostics. Nucleic acid has several diagnostic applications, which include STDs, congenital anomalies, and cancer. Almost all the STDs can be diagnosed using nucleic acid isolation and identification procedures, further driving the market growth. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that, globally, over a million sexually transmitted infections are acquired daily. Currently, about 500 million people suffer from herpes simplex virus (HSV), and 290 million women have human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.
Technological Advancements in Nucleic Acid-Based Diagnostics
The advent of new technologies in molecular diagnostics, such as expression analysis and genotyping, provides an impetus to the market growth. In the agriculture sector, the continuous advancement in science and technology has greatly revolutionized the production of genetically modified crops (GM).
Multiple traits introduced in GM crops using genetic engineering technologies include herbicide tolerance, drought tolerance, and crop resistance to insects. In line with this, the leading market players are actively working to develop automated nucleic acid insulation and purification solutions that allow for a faster, cleaner, and reliable process of nucleic acid extraction. In November 2019, Purigen Biosystems, Inc. launched the Ionic Purification System, which enables automated nucleic acid extraction from biological samples in an hour with higher yield and improved purity.
Nucleic Acid Isolation and Purification Market: Segmentation
Continuous Production of New DNA or RNA Insulation and Purification Kits by Prominent Players Drives the Segment Growth
