The myriad of technologies now available to researchers allows for label-free methods to impact drug development from early discovery to entry into the clinic and beyond. However, each of these methods comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. While many of these methods can be used at several stages of drug discovery and development, researchers may find any individual technology lacking either the throughput, sensitivity, or the ease of use that they may require. In addition, each method requires that can be used in the design and analysis of the experiments to ensure quality data are obtained. However, by combining several technologies one can leverage the strengths of the individual technology while avoiding the pitfalls.
On the basis of technology, the market is segmented into surface plasmon resonance, bio-layer interferometry, differential scanning calorimetry, isothermal titration calorimetry, and other label-free detection technologies. The surface plasmon resonance segment dominated the market in 2020.
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensing has been demonstrated in the past decade to be an exceedingly powerful and quantitative probe of the interactions of a variety of biopolymers with various ligands, biopolymers, and membranes, including protein:ligand, protein:protein, protein:DNA and protein: membrane binding. It provides a means not only for identifying these interactions and quantifying their equilibrium constants, kinetic constants and underlying energetics, but also for employing them in very sensitive, label-free biochemical assays
As an early adopter of new technology in the electronics, nuclear and space exploration industries, the US has a pivotal role in setting label-free detection that has now been adopted and harmonized across the globe. It is the world's largest medical device market, has a massive pharmaceutical and biological manufacturing sector, and is at the forefront of nanotechnology research and developing technology for the next generation of wafers and chips. Europe also has one of the strongest and most productive life sciences industries in the world. There is a significant opportunity in label-free detection to be grasped, with global health and life science markets predicted to grow up to 10% per annum in the next decade.
