Dallas, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/06/2010 -- ReportsandReports announce it will carry Multiplex Assays: Evolving Technologies, Applications and Future Directions Market Research Report in its Store.
Multiplex Assays: Evolving Technologies, Applications and Future Directions focuses on significant recent developments in the multiplex assay field. Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly committing to associating their drugs with diagnostic assays. The majority of these are single-analyte biomarkers. However, a number of multiplex biomarkers not directly associated with particular drugs are in use as approved or homebrew diagnostics, and these contribute in various ways to the broad field of translational medicine. This report examines the role of multiplex and multi-analyte biomarker assays in translational medicine and their direct contributions to drug discovery and development; their contributions as theranostics, companion diagnostics, etc.; and the reasons why they are not more prevalent despite their apparent high potential. Key challenges and implications presented include: multi-analyte assays versus multiplex assays; the replacement of DNA microarrays with next-generation sequencing; recent developments and newer players in the field; the road toward validation and regulation; and the implications of recent deal activity. Multiplex Assays: Evolving Technologies, Applications and Future Directions examines applications of multiplex assays in translational medicine from the perspective of pharma R&D, companion diagnostic products, and the new diagnostics as a contributor to translational medicine.
