Valley Cottage, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/16/2016 -- The Nucleic Acid Testing is also known as NAT (Nucleic Acid Test) or NAAT (Nucleic Acid Amplification Test). The NAT helps in detection of pathogens even when there are no relative clinical signs for the disease. These tests are helpful in the detection of the viral DNAs or RNAs in blood samples of patients. Three major processes involved in NAT are sample pooling and nucleic acid (NA) extraction, target NA amplification and target amplicon NA detection. Nucleic Acid Testing has been widely used for Viral and Bacterial Infectious Diseases, Cancerous diseases, Forensic Testing, Genetically related Diseases and Paternity Testing/HLA Typing. Major NAT technologies include polymerase chain reaction (PCR) used for specificity, strand displacement amplification (SDA), ligase chain reaction (LCR), transcription-mediated amplification (TMA) nucleic acid sequence based amplification (NASBA) and whole genome sequencing.

Nucleic Acid Testing Market: Drivers and Restraints

The NAT market is the most rapidly growing segment of the in vitro diagnostics industry. Major drivers include prevalence of infectious bacterial and viral diseases, cancer and genetic diseases. About 16% of total deaths each year are due to infectious diseases worldwide. According to 2012 report, it was estimated that around 1 Bn people suffered from infectious diseases which is a major segment of the NAT market. Regulatory mechanisms and reforms are directed towards the burgeoning of the market. In the coming years, NAT market will experience innovation and technological advancement specifically in the automation and reagent systems due to the rising demand and growing end user acceptance for these products. However, the cost containment is a major hindrance for the decrease in penetration rate in the clinical laboratories end user segment, which will be favorable only if cost effective products are introduced in the market. Also a cut down in reimbursement policies in developed nations and insufficient policies in the developing countries will act as a restraining factor for the growth of NAT market.
