MICROPLATE READERS
optics, all of these present profitable prospects for market growth.
KEY FINDINGS According to the report, the market for clinical trials is likely to grow at around 10% annually, creating a substantial need for advanced laboratory equipment. In 2022, the single-mode readers segment dominated the market. Dedicated instruments are increasingly needed for applications requiring specialised measurements, including enzyme assays, cell viability tests, or the detection of certain biomolecules, owing to their precision and accuracy. Measurements with higher sensitivity and specificity are possible thanks to single-mode readers, which are frequently tailored for a specific detection technique.
SINGLE MODE READERS Single-mode microplate readers measure only one detection technology (for example absorbance or nucleic acid detection) and they are the best choice when it is clear that the instrument will be used for just one application. Such tasks are typically fairly long-term and they block the microplate reader for other measurements meaning one mode is sufficient. Examples of such studies include microbial growth monitoring which takes one or more days, or fluorescence detection of thioflavin T experiments which take up to a week.
MULTI-MODE READERS Multi-mode readers are needed when a laboratory wants to measure several properties such as enzyme activity in combination with the quantity of DNA and proteins in a specimen for example. Lab technicians that currently plan applications based on one detection mode but think they may want to change in the future may want to consider a model that can be upgraded to a multi-mode machine.

REGIONAL OUTLOOK The report from Transparency Market Research found that North America leads the global industry. The region’s market dynamics are being driven by
the presence of major companies and improved infrastructure in research laboratories. Two key drivers of the increase in demand are the rise in the number of clinical trials and the sizable government funding of current R&D projects. The pharmaceutical and
biotechnology industries using the technology are also located mostly in the US, according to the report, and the need for microplate readers is driven by ongoing innovation and expansion in drug research and screening. In order to bolster their positions,
major companies in the industry are increasingly focused on partnerships, collaborations, mergers, and the introduction of new products; and those observing the industry can expect to see an uptick in activity of this sort in the years to come.
