Image-Based Cytometer Overview

Cytometry is the study of computing the characters of cells. Aspects that can be calculated by using cytometer include cell count, cell shape and structure, cell size, cell cycle phase, DNA content etc. Image-based cytometry is the most traditional form of cytometry. Optical microscopy is used by statically imaging a large number of cells to operate image cytometers.  Before analysis, cells are usually stained to increase contrast or to spot certain molecules by tagging these with fluorochromes (fluorescent chemical compound that can re-emit light on light excitation).

Market Size & Forecast

Image-based cytometer requirement is anticipated to boost owing to technological advancements and the growing utilization of image-based flow cytometers in research activities. The image based cytometer market is thus estimated to expand at a robust CAGR over the forecast period.

Trend towards precision medicine where each clinical trial is towards a specific cell is emerging. Clinical applications of image cytometry basically includes measurement of DNA content of whole nuclei in ovarian tumors; measurement of DNA content of nuclei in sections of brain tumor; and analysis of DNA distribution of nuclei in sections of oral leukoplakia. Image cytometry has been particularly useful in studies of embedded tissues in which the tissue architecture is important in identifying regions for measurement, in which there may be very few cells available for measurement, or in which the tissue is not suitable for dissociation. With escalating research activities and the possibility obtainable for the equipment related demand for image-based cytometer market is expected to propel. Furthermore, market players are intensifying their existence by developing a new technology or by expanding in emerging countries.On the basis of regional platform, global image based cytometers market is segmented into five major regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa region.

Growth Drivers & Challenges

Image-based cytometer requirement is estimated to increase owing to technological advancements, development of intuitive software, increasing use of image-based cytometer in clinical trials and the growing utilization of image-based flow cytometers in research activities.  Rapid ‘user‐friendly’ systems currently under development may increase the market growth of image-based cytometric systems. High throughput screening (high sample passage from input to output) is available in almost all the recent technologies introduced because of the rising trend towards precision medicine where each clinical trial is towards a particular cell. Thus cell analyzer is also developed that provide the researcher with multifunctional results of thousands of cells.

The main problem for the researchers is to access such technology which has cost constraints associated to buying antibodies.
