World In Vitro Diagnostics – Market Opportunities and Forecasts, 2015 – 2022

“In vitro diagnostics (IVD) is the technique in which medical devices and reagents are used to examine specimens such as blood, urine, stool, tissues and other body fluids, which are derived from the human body to detect diseases, conditions and infections. The tests can be performed in stand-alone laboratory, hospital based laboratory and point of care. Some of the significant technologies incorporated in vitro diagnostics include polymerase chain reaction (PCR), microarray techniques, sequencing technology and mass spectrometry, which are used for test sample preparation. Incessant innovations in IVD product design and technology have encouraged doctors and researchers to shift their focus from traditional diagnostic methods to personalized medicines.
