Advancements in PCR Technologies Fuel North America PCR Technologies Market
The advantages of PCR such as exquisite sensitivity, relative simplicity, and cost-effectiveness have tremendously added to its popularity in the past years. The PCR technology has evolved significantly, resulting in more specific workflows for a wide variety of applications. The use of PCR technology is being explored into several nonconventional applications, making molecular diagnosis easier and faster. Advancements in dPCR and RT-PCR are used to diagnose diseases, identify viruses and bacteria, and aid forensic investigations. Researchers are trying to reduce test time using some nanomaterials. In March 2023, the Center for Augmented Safety System with Intelligence, Sensing of the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) announced the development of an ultrafast PCR technology. The development project was led by Dr. Sang Kyung Kim (Director) and Dr. Seungwon Jung's research team. The ultrafast PCR reduces the test duration by 10 times compared to the previous tests by utilizing photothermal nanomaterials. The diagnostic performance of the new method is comparable to existing test methods, and it can be finished in 5 minutes. In January 2021, Danaher Corporation announced that Health Canada issued a medical device license to Cepheid for Xpert Xpress SARS-CoV-2/Flu/RSV. A few of the technological advancements by companies in the PCR technologies market are as given, In March 2021, PCR Biosystems announced the launch of its IsoFast Bst polymerase reagents, which support sensitive, robust, and rapid amplification of RNA and DNA, enabling faster testing procedures. In October 2021, Thermo Fisher Scientific introduced the Applied Biosystem Quantstudio Absolute Q-Digital PCR System, the first fully integrated dPCR system designed to deliver highly accurate and consistent genetic analysis. The company claims that the product generates research results within 90 minutes. In May 2022, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. introduced its CFX Duet Real-Time PCR System in selected countries that accept the CE Mark. The system is intended to support researchers in developing singleplex and duplex qPCR assays. In November 2022, PCR Biosystems launched new qPCR reagent mixes-Clara Probe Mix, Clara Probe 1-Step Mix, and Clara HRM Mix. In November 2022, Cepheid launched the Xpert Xpress MVP multiplex PCR test. The test helps detect DNA from organisms that are associated with three distinct conditions, namely, bacterial vaginosis (BV), trichomoniasis, and vulvovaginal candidiasis, from a single sample, aiding in more precise diagnosis and supporting accurate antibiotic treatment regimens. Thus, such advancements are expected to bring new trends into the PCR technologies market in the coming years.
