Abstract
HTStec's Single Cell Technologies 2012 report was published on 3 July 2012.
This 58 page report summarizes the results of HTStec's industry-wide global
web-based benchmarking survey on single cell technologies carried out in June
2012. The questionnaire was compiled to meet the needs, requirements and
interests of our clients, who were manufacturers/developers of laboratory
equipment for separation, sorting and analysis of single cells. They wish to
gain insight into the application requirements, market opportunities, unmet
needs and demand for single cell technology-related products. The report is
based on 202 responses, from persons or groups currently using or planning
future use of single cells or single cell enabling technologies in their
research efforts. Respondents were segmented on the basis of their current
field of interest and use of single cell technologies with 57% undertaking
basic research; 36% applied research and 7% pharma research.
About HTStec
HTStec (formerly HTS Technologies) is an independent consultancy that was
founded by Dr. John Comley in spring 2002. HTStec is focused on providing
informed opinion and market research on those enabling and emerging
technologies that underpin high throughput screening (HTS) today. HTStec works
with clients, drawn mainly from those companies that are developing novel
liquid handling and detection instruments, laboratory automation, assay
reagents and platform technologies, to help them maximise the market potential
of their developments and gain the competitive edge through better
understanding of the latest requirements of customers working in HTS
laboratories.
