MCP-3527: MICROTOMES/CRYOSTATS & AUTOMATED STAINERS – A GLOBAL STRATEGIC BUSINESS REPORT

Global Microtomes/Cryostats & Automated Stainers Market to Reach $491 Million by 2010, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

Histological tests involve microscopic analysis of tissue samples, which are cut into very thin slices with the help of a precision slicer known as a microtome. The slides are stained to make differentiation and identification of particular cell types easier. The global microtomes/cryostats & automated stainers market is projected to reach $491.1 million by the year 2010, growing at a compounded annual rate of 5.52% over the period 2000 through 2010.

San Jose, California (PRWEB), April 29, 2008 -- Traditional applications of microtomes include cutting frozen sections and sliding knives over stationary specimens for cutting wood. The most important criterion for evaluating a microtome is its ease-of-use. Cryostat is a flask-like vessel layered with two walls. The hermetic property of the outer wall prevents flow of air into the vessel thus maintaining the materials inside at constant or usually at low temperatures. Cryostats have the capacity to cool down to a billionth of a degree, and are the main components of Super Conducting Dipoles. An automated slide stainer is used for staining hematology, histology, and cytology slides for diagnostic purposes. United States is the largest microtomes/cryostats & automated stainers market in the world with an estimated share of 36.4% in the year 2008, closely followed by Europe, the second largest market. Market for Ultra and Other Microtomes is forecast to grow the fastest in Asia-Pacific with a CAGR of 9.45% over the years 2011 through 2015, as stated by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. World market for Stainers is projected to reach $81.24 million by the year 2012.

Key players dominating the global microtomes/cryostats & automated stainers market include Bright Instrument Company Limited, Cryomech Inc., Energy Beam Sciences Inc., EXAKT Technologies Inc., Hacker Instruments Inc., Janis Research Company Inc., Leica Microsystems AG, Oxford Instruments Plc, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Microm International GmbH, Triangle Biomedical Sciences Inc., and Ventana Medical Systems Inc.
