Nucleic acids and proteins are separated using gel electrophoresis equipment based on their charge and size. These instruments are mostly utilised in forensic science, molecular biology, genetics, and microbiology laboratories. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) results are analysed using electrophoresis. It's a laboratory procedure that involves transferring an electric current from one end to the other to separate DNA, RNA, and protein molecules. Electrophoresis was used more frequently during COVID-19 because of the use of a set of primers for assessing binding created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) for routine PCR diagnosis of COVID 19.
Global Electrophoresis Market -
Impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
Over the
projected period, the worldwide
electrophoresis market is expected to be driven by the COVID-19
pandemic. News-Medical.Net, for example, reported on a study that used
capillary electrophoresis to produce a cost-effective identification strategy
for novel SARS-CoV-2 variants, allowing local facilities to test and track
SARS-CoV-2 variations on April 21, 2021. On the basis of mass, charge, and
nucleic acid chain length, capillary electrophoresis separates molecular
components of a sample for investigation. Because the sample contains mutations
in the nucleic acid sequence, the resulting agarose band is shorter and the
bands separate at various rates during electrophoresis.
News-Medical.Net
published an article on April 21, 2021, about a study that used capillary
electrophoresis to produce a cost-effective identification method for novel
SARS-CoV-2 variants, allowing local facilities to test and track SARS-CoV-2
variations.
The rising
prevalence of COVID -19 infection is predicted to fuel demand for
electrophoresis devices that aid in the detection of the virus using RT-PCR
tests. These tests will aid in the reduction of virus spread by providing
precise results, which is projected to propel the electrophoresis
market forward throughout the forecast period. For example, a report
published in Nature Communications on September 23, 2020 said that a huge and
rapid covid-19 test was completed utilising RT-PCR to detect SARS-CoV-2. Gel
electrophoresis with an ultra-low range DNA ladder was used to separate these
RT-PCR results.
