Biological PCR Technology Market Overview

A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a laboratory technique used to amplify DNA sequences. PCR uses a short synthetic DNA fragment called primers to choose a segment of the genome for amplification and synthesize DNA in multiple rounds. The major components of a PCR technique include DNA template, DNA polymerase, oligonucleotides primers, deoxyribonucleotide triphosphate, and buffer systems. Real-time PCR, nested PCR, multiplex PCR, quantitative PCR, and arbitrary primed PCR are the different types of PCR techniques.

The rising prevalence of chronic disorders such as infectious disorders necessitates screening and early detection of these disorders. This increases the use of biological PCR technology. Technological advancements drive the latest innovations in PCR technology, enhancing efficiency and efficacy. The increasing investments and collaboration promote the use of PCR technology. The growing genomics and proteomics research also contribute to market growth. PCR-based diagnostics have been increasingly adopted since the COVID-19 pandemic era.

Miniaturized PCR Device: A Market Opportunity

Ongoing research efforts focus on miniaturizing PCR devices to reduce overall costs and improve data quality. Miniaturization refers to scaling down the volume of a reaction mixture or assay in molecular biology. It uses less sample for the assay procedure while providing enhanced sensitivity and efficiency. Some studies report that miniaturized devices can reduce experimental costs by 75%. Miniaturization offers high-resolution genomic and NGS libraries and simplifies scaling of an assay from low throughput to high throughput.

The advancements in microfluidic technology create ample opportunities for the biological PCR technology market players to develop miniaturized PCR devices. Miniaturizing PCR technology expedites the speed of DNA amplification due to the high surface-to-volume ratio, smaller thermal capacity, and larger heat transfer. This technology also has the potential for parallel reactions and enhanced portability.
