Clinical immunoanalyzer analysis is one of the most important functions of clinical laboratory analysis. By all accounts, automated immunoassay testing is the most rapidly developing of the traditional clinical laboratory sectors. Clinical immunoanalyzer analysis usually refers to determining the concentration or activity of protein, carbohydrate, lipid, enzyme or small molecule in easily collected body fluids, such as blood, serum, plasma or urine. However, it is not necessarily limited to these purposes.

The analysis of virtually any biologically active substance in any place in the body can generally be defined as clinical immunoassay testing. In fact, traditional specialization barriers, such as microbiology, hematology, blood banking, immunology and even anatomical pathology are fading rapidly, both operationally and instrumentally.

This report deals with the traditional scope of clinical immunoassay, while looking at the emerging technology trends in this sector. The purpose of this study is to describe the specific segments of the global clinical immunoanalyzer instrumentation market. Within this area, the highly-active segments in terms of innovation and growth are covered. Specifically, it examines the markets for small labs and highly-automated large lab platforms, as well as the market for accessory equipment, such as reagents and supplies. Emphasis is on those companies and products that are actively developing and marketing immunoanalyzer products for clinical setting, including hospitals, independent labs, physician’s offices and clinics.
