Microplate Washer Market

Rise in High-Throughput Screening Procedures to Boost the Market for Microplate Washers

A microplate is a flat plate that has various wells on it. These wells serve as tiny test tubes in clinical and analytical diagnostic testing laboratories. Microplate washers are instruments used in laboratories, which are designed to control the washing of experimental samples that are arranged in plate-based formats.

Microplate washers are extensively used for a wide variety of experimental assays that require a series of washes. Microplate washers are also used to wash protein arrays, cell cultures and Western Blot beads as well as used in DNA purification procedures.

Microplate washers improve efficiency by increasing the accuracy and speed of washing for various procedures such as ELISA, vacuum-filtration assays, bio-magnetic separation, microsphere-based assays, etc. Microplate washers are easily incorporated in robotic liquid handling systems and workstations.

Microplate washers are available in various configurations in the market; from hand-held microplate washers to fully automated microplate washers. Microplate washers are required in high-throughput laboratories for better and efficient workflow.

Microplate Washer Market: Drivers

With the growing healthcare infrastructure, there is an increase in the demand for microplate washers as they are required in life science industries, pharmaceutical industries, in-vitro diagnostic industries, etc. The low cost of microplate washers and the expansion of these industries are among factors expected to drive the microplate washers market during the forecast period.

Moreover, a consistent increase in the need for high-throughput screening and growing in vitro and other diagnostic-related research is also expected to boost the microplate washers market. However, these microplate washers need maintenance, which is likely to restrain the growth of the microplate washers market during the forecast period. Lack of popularity and traditional practices for washing microplates are also likely to hamper the growth of the microplate washers market during the forecast period.

Microplate Washer Market: Overview

Among the product types, fully automated microplate washers are estimated to be extensively used because of better efficiency and lower manually induced errors. Microplate washers are available in various modalities, among which strip washers and full-plate washers are expected to drive the microplate washers market during the forecast period.

Over years, these washers are extensively used for ELISA procedures and cell-based assays. Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases that require in-vitro diagnosis is one of the major factors driving the microplate washers market. The microplate washers market is also expected to witness robust growth owing the increasing demand from the life-science industry.

Certain safety considerations, emergency stop and aerosol protection, need to be taken care of while using a microplate washer. Technological advancements for ultra-high throughput screening and increase in the geriatric population that requires diagnostics are among the factors expected to expand the microplate washers market during the forecast period.

Microplate Washer Market: Regional Outlook

The North America microplate washers market is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period due to the increasing incidence of chronic diseases that require diagnostic testing. Increasing product penetration and growing healthcare expenditure are also estimated to boost the microplate washers market during the forecast period.

The Europe microplate washers market is estimated to grow at a moderate rate over the forecast period owing it to the lack of popularity and limited presence of diagnostic centres. Limited healthcare assessment facilities and poor per capita GDP are expected to hamper the growth of the Asia Pacific microplate washers market over the period of forecast.
