Bacterial and Viral Specimen Collection Market, by Product Type (Bacterial Specimen Collection (Swabs, Bacterial Transport Media, Sample Collection Kits, and Others) and Viral Specimen Collection (Swabs, Viral Transport Media, Sample Collection Kits, and Others), by Application (Diagnostics and Research), by End User (Hospitals, Diagnostic Laboratories, Academic and Research Institution, and Others) and by Region (North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2021 - 2028
The accuracy and interpretation of microbiological results depend, to a great extent, on the quality of the samples and their processing in the microbiology laboratory. The suitable time to collect the sample, type of specimen, method of sampling, its storage, and transport are essential points in the diagnostic process. In order to obtain accurate, clinically relevant, and significant results by the microbiology department, it is essential to rightly select, collect, and transport all microbiological samples. In recent years, automated equipment has evolved for a number of rapid diagnostic techniques of the immunological type, seeding of the samples, and for the identification of antigens.
Market Dynamics
Increasing research and development activities is expected to drive the global bacterial & viral specimen collection market growth over the forecast period. For instance, according to an article published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), U.S. in July 2020, Helix OpCo, LLC, a California-based population genomic company, developed standardized nasal swab kits in bulk for the collection of nasal secretion samples to detect SARS-CoV-2. This will allow the processing of thousands of nasal swab samples at once and provide results within 24-48 hours. These COVID-19 nasal swab kits can be used by the public health departments, employers, healthcare systems, and others globally.
