RNA purification is a critical first step for preparing biological samples for a multitude of analytical techniques including real-time quantitative PCR, reverse transcription PCR, microarrays, Northern blot analysis, nuclease protection assays, RNA mapping, in vitro translation and cDNA library construction.
Based on a 34-question survey of more than 800 scientists who currently purify RNA, The RNA Purification Market: Evaluating Competitive Dynamics & Establishing Benchmarks provides suppliers with insights into the types of products required to support this research. In order to benchmark the current state of the market, this report details researchers experimental parameters and uses for purified RNA, current and future levels of sample throughput and the purification methods used. Additionally, it examines two directions in which the RNA purification market could be moving--outsourcing samples for purification and the use of robotics for high throughput purification.
To help to better understand the homebrew segment of the RNA purification market, respondents disclosed their experimental design, throughput and reasons for using homebrew products over commercial products. And finally, for both reagent and kit suppliers, this report reveals those supplier attributes that are of the greatest importance, as well as areas where they perform above or below expectations.
By utilizing this report to understand the actual experiences, needs and preferences of researchers, RNA purification kit and reagent suppliers will be better positioned to refine existing tools to appeal to the diverse needs of their target market as well as to convert homebrew users to commercial purification products. A combination of in-depth market insights, enhancements and innovations will extend the use of commercial RNA purification products into additional laboratories.
The major objectives of this report are as follows:
- Identify the most common experimental parameters for RNA purification and uses of purified RNA
- Measure throughput and estimate growth in the number of samples from which RNA is purified
- Determine the segment of the market who use homebrew reagents
- Identify preferred suppliers of RNA purification kits and reagents
- Assess satisfaction with purification products from an end-users perspective
- Evaluate the extent and drivers of customer loyalty toward kit and reagent suppliers
