Chromatography Reagents Market is expected to reach $7,609.3 Million By 2018

The term ‘Chromatography’ is referred to a broad range of physical methods which are used to separate mixtures. The separation is done with the help of two phases namely, stationary phase and mobile phase. The mobile phase is basically a fluid in which the mixture is dissolved. The mobile phase carries the mixture through the stationary phase. The various constituents of the mixture get separated as they travel at different speeds. Hence the reagents needed for carrying out chromatography should be chosen accurately. Chromatography may be preparative or analytical. Preparative chromatography is used to separate the components of a mixture for more advanced use whereas analytical chromatography is done normally with smaller amounts of material and is for measuring the relative proportions of analytes in a mixture. Preparative and analytical chromatographies are not mutually exclusive.

Chromatography is very special taken the need to separate a product from a complex mixture into consideration. Hence it is a very important step in the production line of any chemical industry. Chromatography can separate complex mixtures with great precision. Even very complex components, such as proteins that may only vary by a single amino acid, can be separated with chromatography. Secondly, chromatography can also be used to separate delicate products since the conditions under which it is performed are not typically severe. Other major factors driving the chromatography reagents market are:

1.       Rise in government investments.

2.       Increasing demand of chromatography reagents in the pharmaceutical industry.

3.       Innovation in market.

4.       Incessant rise in acquisitions/partnerships among players in the market.

5.       Rampant usage of chromatography reagents.

Types of chromatography:

1.       Gas chromatography: It is used for volatile compounds. The mobile phase is a gas and the stationary phase is usually a liquid on a solid support or absorbent.

2.       High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC): Utilizes high-pressure pumps to increase the efficiency of the separation.

3.       Liquid chromatography: Applied to separate analytes in solutions. The mobile phase is a solvent and the stationary phase is a liquid on a solid support, a solid, or an ion-exchange resin.

4.       Size-Exclusion chromatography: The mobile phase is a solvent & the stationary phase is a porous particles package.

5.       Thin-layer chromatography: The mobile phase is a solvent and the stationary phase is a solid adsorbent on a thin flat support.

According to a new market research report, the global chromatography reagents market is estimated at $4,598.0 million in 2013 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.6% from 2013 to 2018, to reach $7,609.3 million by 2018. The report categorizes the global chromatography Reagents Market categories by Type [Acylation, Alkylation, Solvent, Buffer], Bed Shape [Column, Thin layer], Mobile Phase [UHPLC, HPLC, HILIC, Flash, SFC], Separation Mechanism [Partition, Adsorption, Affinity] & End User and by Geography.
