Techniques to Maximize Biomarker Identification

Biomarkers are the existing bimolecular and integral indictors of disease condition of biological systems. The techniques used to identify and maximize the expression of biomarkers include RT-PCR genotyping, molecular imaging and dynamics, biochemical  assay and profiling, immunological techniques and chromatographic techniques. A wider approach towards identification of biomarkers lies in the proteomic approach besides utilizing biosensors as a compatible tool for evaluation of biomarker levels in the biological systems. Most of the company’s focus is on generating cost effective durable profiling techniques and equipment to quantify biomarkers within a short span of time. Johnson & Johnson, GlaxoSmithKline Plc., GE Healthcare, Affymetrix Inc., Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc. are a few of the key players in this market. Partnerships, agreements, collaborations, & mergers and acquisitions are the key business strategies adopted by market participants to ensure their growth in the market.
