Electrophoresis is an analytical method frequently used in nucleic acid and protein analysis to separate macromolecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins based on their size and charge. This technology is extensively used in the fields of medical diagnostics, life sciences, and clinical research."

Vendors who fall into this category receive high scores for most evaluation criteria. They have wide and established product portfolios and a very strong market presence. They provide mature, innovative, and reputed dPCR and qPCR devices.

The players considered dynamic are established vendors with very strong business strategies. However, they provide limited offerings and are comparatively less innovative. They focus on a specific type of technology related to the product.

Innovators are players that have demonstrated substantial product innovations as compared to their competitors. They have a focused product portfolio; however, they do not have very strong business strategies.

They are vendors with niche product offerings and are just starting to make a mark in the market. They do not have developed business strategies as compared to other established vendors. They might be new entrants in the market and require some more time before gaining significant traction in the market.


DNA electrophoresis is used to map the order of restriction fragments within chromosomes, analyze DNA variation within a population by restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), and determine the nucleotide sequence of a piece of DNA. Earlier, determining the sequence of bases in DNA was a major challenge; however, electrophoresis has proved to be a low-cost and sensitive approach for DNA sequencing.Electrophoresis is routinely used in hospitals and pathological laboratories for the analysis of clinical specimens such as blood, urine, and other body fluids or tissue sample for the investigation of various abnormalities and diseases. For instance, hemoglobin electrophoresis is used as a screening test to identify and detect variant abnormal hemoglobins, including hemoglobin A1 (HbA1), hemoglobin A2(HbA2), hemoglobin F (HbF, fetal hemoglobin), hemoglobin C (HbC), and hemoglobin S  (HbS). This test is used primarily to diagnose diseases involving abnormal forms of hemoglobin, such as sickle-cell anemia and thalassemia.Electrophoresis has emerged as a key tool for quality control in the pharmaceutical & biotechnology industries and food industry. It is increasingly being used for the assessment of raw materials and final products in the biotechnology industry to ensure regulatory compliance, as well as in process optimization (by testing the product at each stage of manufacturing).
