With recent advancements in the molecular biology arena, several engineering tools and strategies were developed to cope with rising market demand. Expanding research base in molecular biology has driven the usage of biotechnology reagents & kits over the past few years. The field of genomic sequencing has also witnessed several technological advancements over the recent years since the inception of the first revolutionary DNA sequencing technique. In the past few years, there have been extraordinary developments in areas, including high-throughput sequencing, genome engineering, big-data analysis & storage, and gene therapy.
RT-PCR assay is the most widely used method for the detection of viral RNA in patient samples. Researchers have also developed specific assays to detect COVID-19. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has developed a different test protocol by validation and comparison of several kits used in the extraction of nucleic acids. They also used alternative prime and probe sets to detect SARS-CoV-2 in clinical samples. Isolation of nucleic acids is an integral part of the COVID-19 testing workflow.
The huge demand for nucleic acid isolation and purification kits led to a global shortage of these kits in the initial phase of the pandemic. Leveraging this opportunity, several companies undertook various initiatives, such as the expansion of their production capabilities, distribution agreements, and new product launches, to enhance their market positions. This also accelerated the entry of new players into the market, thereby intensifying the market competition.
