Description
The liquid chromatography (LC) market has been relatively mature for quite a while, with a slow evolution of products and applications over the last few decades. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has used essentially the same types of components since the 1980s. However, the market has seen an extraordinary amount of technological change in the last few years as companies have continued to introduce new systems performing fast LC and ultra HPLC (UHPLC).
This report, Liquid Chromatography Markets,, represents Kalorama’s most comprehensive look at this dynamic market. This report covers liquid chromatography systems, hardware, software, consumables, and related services, with a focus on HPLC. Both analytical and purification applications are included, but the emphasis leans towards analytical techniques. With quantitative data, a discussion of trends, and expert analysis, the report is perfect for those seeking and understanding of the LC industyr. Included the report is the following:
