Clinical Chemistry Markets (by Type [Instrument, Reagent], by Analyte [Glucose Market, Electrolytes Market, Cardiac Biomarkers Market, Enzymes Market, Proteins Market, Drugs of Abuse Market, Therapeutic Drugs Market, HbA1c Market, Other Commonly Tested Analytes] by Region)

This Kalorama Information report, Clinical Chemistry Markets, examines the global market for clinical chemistry products and procedures. Among the products covered are instruments, reagents, and supporting consumables used worldwide in core laboratory and point-of-care (POC) medical testing. Clinical chemistry instruments consist of large multifunctional workstations capable of conducting multiple procedures simultaneously as well as smaller analyzers dedicated to narrower, more specific applications. Workstations detailed in this report include systems used exclusively for clinical chemistry testing and combination systems with both clinical chemistry and immunoassay testing capabilities. POC systems analyzed consist of dedicated clinical chemistry instruments sold to professional healthcare markets only. Equipment used directly by patients is excluded from the content.

Data in the report includes:

• Core Laboratory Chemistry Product Demand by Type
• Global Core Laboratory Chemistry Reagent Demand by Type
• Commonly Measured Core Laboratory Chemical Analytes
• Global Core Laboratory Chemistry Standards & Controls Market

Advances in technology have led to the incorporation of various immunoassay procedures on clinical chemistry workstations. Immunoassay tests detect and measure analytes in the body by assessing antigen and antibody reactions in patient specimens. These procedures can be used to identify any medical condition that triggers an in vivo immune response, including cancer, cardiovascular damage, drug abuse, infectious and viral diseases, infertility, pregnancy, and thyroid disorders. Immunoassay tests are also employed widely in therapeutic drug monitoring to evaluate the effectiveness of medicines against various tumors and pathogenic microorganisms. Compared to clinical chemistry, immunoassays techniques provide more disease-specific and definitive results.
