Posted by Shrikant Gadewar on January 29th, 2020

Market Overview:

The global gel documentation systems market was valued at USD 245 Mn and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.6% over the forecast period of 2017-2023, asserts Market Research Future (MRFR) in a detailed study.

Gel documentation systems provide flexibility and ease of use in imaging nucleic acid and protein gels due to which they are gaining traction among research studies. The rise in a number of research laboratories, diagnostic centers, clinical and medical institutions have contributed positively to the growth of the global gel documentation systems market.

On the flip side, high costs associated with gel documentation systems is likely to restrain the growth of the global Gel Documentation Systems Market Growth . Most commercial gel documentation systems available in the market are not affordable in developing countries where the growth of the market is imopeded due to price sensitivity.

The market is gaining better traction as several countries are taking initiatives to counter various genetic disorders. This is inspiring better funding for various research and development facilities. This can also play a crucial role in the formulation of cures for genetic disorders.  Pharmaceutical companies are providing better traction to the market. Its application includes several fields. For instance, gel documentation systems find significant application in molecular biology that would measure nucleic acids and proteins in various mediums that would include agarose, cellulose, and acrylamide. It also has significant usage in various medical applications like antibody binding affinities for both monoclonal & polyclonal antibodies gel & blot imaging, protein quantification, immunoassay, 2D electrophoresis, and nucleic acid quantification.
